Chu Ge grew up in a city in the Nirvana Era, and it was really hard to imagine what kind of experience it was like to live in the jungle in the Calamity Era, so he could only say dryly: "It sounds like hell on earth, and it is miserable." ”

"The so-called 'hell on earth, unspeakably miserable' is for people like you who have been bathed in the glory of civilization since childhood."

Bai Ye said lightly, "There is no comparison, it doesn't matter if there is bitterness and happiness, as long as you are accustomed to it, anything can become natural and willing."

"I don't think there's anything hard or unfortunate about life in the jungle, we wild children who are free-range between heaven and earth, between mountain streams and deep forests, still have our own pleasures - in fact, it was only later that the spiritual energy dried up, the green tide retreated, and the entry of outsiders completely ruined my childhood, and my fate changed dramatically."

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I know, your parents seem to have died in the conflict with outsiders?" ”

"There is no 'conflict' to talk about."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "There is no such bloody plot, why because my parents died in the conflict with foreign civilizations, my temperament changed drastically, and I awakened my antisocial personality - it's not so exaggerated."

"Life in the jungle is already hard and dangerous, and few people in my hometown live past the age of forty, and my parents had already struggled for too long under the threat of miasma, poisonous fog, swamps, snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they were on the verge of running out of oil.

"The green tide has dissipated, and outsiders have re-entered my hometown, destroying the way of life we have been accustomed to for decades, and also bringing a large number of bacteria and viruses from the outside world, setting off a small epidemic.

"No one can say whether my parents died of illness, exhaustion, or something else, and I'm not going to put this matter on anyone's account - before the establishment of the Earth Alliance, the darkest ten or twenty years of the Calamity Age were originally a mess of accounts, and no one could figure it out.

"I just want to say that the death of my parents, for me, means the end of childhood, from that day, an ignorant wild child, left the familiar jungle, came to a strange city, began a aimless, drifting journey."

Chu Ge said cautiously: "Your experience in that 'genius school'......"

"It's nothing, although the training in the genius school is hard and even painful, but it is not as precarious and dangerous as the jungle life, in fact, I arrived in the genius school, and for the first time in my life, I can eat a full meal, purely from the material level, I have lived a heavenly life in the genius school."

Bai Ye smiled bitterly, "However, the biggest difference between being born as a human and a beast is that we don't just pursue simple material things - you should be able to imagine that a wild child who was originally born and raised and free and loose suddenly entered a big city with high-rise buildings and rules in every way, how much ridicule and discrimination he would receive, and how out of place he would feel with the world around him, especially when he also awakened a very rare superpower, which can pour his soul into the body of an animal at will."

"I don't care about ridicule and discrimination, I don't care if others bully me, I will use ten times more ruthless means to fight back mercilessly - compared with the pythons and cheetahs in the jungle, these teenagers who were born in big cities and pampered themselves, even if they are three or five years older than me, I have never taken them seriously.

"However, the laws of the city are so different from the laws of the jungle that I feel out of place all the time, and I am even at a loss to find the meaning of life.

"Yes, I joined the Special Investigation Bureau step by step or went with the flow, cultivated more and more powerful superpowers, completed one task after another, and gained countless honors, status, powers, and benefits, but I never really understood why I did these things, let alone the urge to do these things from the bottom of my heart.

"The reason why I became an ace soul shifter is simply because I am good at soul transfer, 'good at' and 'love from the heart' are two different things, can you understand?

"I also tried to live a more 'normal' life by following the example of others, marrying a wife, having children, but I couldn't deceive myself, my wife and children, and our marriage eventually broke down, and we all broke up peacefully, and we both breathed a sigh of relief.

"All in all, looking back on the first half of my life, it seems that since the end of my childhood and the beginning of walking out of the jungle, I have been learning, imitating, and trying to be a modern person under the light of civilization, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't learn."

"Perhaps, you don't want to learn either."

Chu Ge said, "You just want to go back to your childhood, that jungle that is both dangerous and wonderful. ”

"You're right."

Bai Ye closed his eyes, and a subtle smile appeared on his stiff cheeks, "The more I grow up, the more I go deeper into the life of the so-called civilized people, the more numb I become, looking back on the past, as if only in the jungle of my childhood can I be regarded as truly alive." ”

"Where's the rats?"

Chu Ge asked unexpectedly, "Is the Rat Kingdom of the Underground World the 'Jungle' you found?" ”

Bai Ye was stunned for a long time, as if he had been reminded by Chu Ge before he suddenly realized, and muttered: "That's right, when you say this, I understand why I am obsessed with the rat civilization, because the luminous city of the Long Fang Kingdom, this place is really similar to the jungle I grew up in.

"All around is dangerous, full of traps and wild beasts.

"The trapped humans or rats, although they have a faint light of civilization, still need to do everything they can to struggle to survive.

"In the face of great darkness, we had to rack our brains, unite as one, and use every bit of resources to survive with all our might.

And it is in this process of fighting the jungle, fighting the heavens and the earth, and struggling to survive, that we can better understand the meaning of life.

"What's more, the earth is too big, the earth alliance is too strong, the human society is too complicated, thousands of cars and bustling cities together form a super precision machine, all of us are just an insignificant part of this machine, no matter what we do or don't do, it may not affect the operation of this machine, people who are parts can easily find that their lives are worthless and meaningless.

"The rat civilization is different.

"The Fang Kingdom is so weak and yet so vibrant, every choice we make has the potential to change it so drastically that it will lead the history of the rat civilization in another direction.

"Even the unknown people in the human world can become the founders of the rat civilization, the savior, the creator god, the national teacher, the king, the general, and the famous figure in history, and because the evolution speed of the rat civilization is far faster than that of human civilization, what we do can quickly receive feedback - what is more exciting and interesting than creating history with our own hands?

"In short, human civilization can lose a 'Ace Soul Shifter White Night', but the rat civilization cannot lack their 'undead general', the two are trade-off, I would rather choose to be reborn in the form of the rat than return to the boring human world."

Chu Ge was dumbfounded when he heard this.

It took a long time to put my chin back up.

Think about it carefully, what Bai Ye said is not unreasonable, as the so-called "rather for the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the phoenix", for a middle-aged man like Bai Ye, who has nothing to love, as an "immortal general", reborn in the underground world, and start a wonderful and exciting journey of the rat civilization, it is quite interesting to think about.

"As soon as you say that, I fully understand, and I'm quite willing to support your choice."

Chu Ge said, "It's a pity, I'm soft-spoken, and I can't be a special investigation bureau, the military still has the home of the parliament, and now, the national teacher with the strength of the military crow troops and various relevant departments has gone deep into the ground and made contact with the rat civilization, whether you want to or not, the tentacles of human civilization will eventually entangle the rat civilization, and if you want to return to the underground world as an immortal general, to live a carefree and carefree life, I'm afraid it's unlikely."

"But, let's think about it from another angle, I found that there doesn't seem to be much contradiction between what the boss wants you to do and what you are willing to do, you can still be an 'immortal general', as long as you are an immortal general who is loyal to human civilization and the Earth Alliance, then there is no problem at all!"
