"Well, the second question ......"

In the dilapidated research room, Lin Xi and Zhu Shiqiu's questions and answers continued in full swing.

The other people next to him were also listening with their ears pricked up, after all, the questions that Lin Xi asked at the moment were also what they had been wondering all along.

Lin Xi took a deep breath and asked again, "What are the things that look like zombies in the movie?" ”

"They'......"

To everyone's surprise, the old man just grinned a little sadly, "That's just a group of poor people who unfortunately fell victim to evolutionary failure. ”

"Failure? Victim? Poor man? ”

Lin Xi couldn't help but scream when he heard this, dancing with his hands, his expression, tone and body language exaggerated to the extreme.

It's just that the breed that has failed in evolution has almost driven humanity to the end of the road, so what are humans? Garbage in garbage, fighters in garbage?

"It's a failure!" The old man nodded affirmatively, and then asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Lin Xi opened his mouth, but unfortunately, before he could speak, the old man had already waved his big hand, blocked his rebuttal in advance, and continued to ask, "You must already know something about the classification of living corpses and supernatural people, right?" ”

"The living corpse knows a little, and the supernatural knows that there is a realm above the inhuman, and the rest is not clear."

Lin Xi nodded and shook his head.

These things, he still listened to what Xia Qianzhu said before he came to the Famous Landscape Garden, and after coming here, he was not busy fighting or recuperating from his injuries, and then he was tired of cultivating feelings with Wu Qiuli every day, but he didn't care much about these things, and he could only answer truthfully when Zhu Shiqiu asked at this moment.

"Oh-"

After hearing this, the old man glanced at Xia Qianzhu behind him, and nodded thoughtfully, "You heard it from them, right?" The barbarians of these troops have always been indifferent to useless things, and even the pamphlets issued to the soldiers describe the living corpses as enemies in detail, and they do not mention much about the Inhumans. ”

Xia Qianzhu hurriedly smiled.

It's just that the old man's mood still doesn't seem to be very good, so he ignores him and continues, "Then you should know that aside from the beasts, the system of humans and living corpses is actually the corresponding ......."

"yes, that's what I don't understand." Lin Xi asked with a deep groan, "I always thought that since living corpses feed on humans, then they are naturally more powerful than humans, why in this correspondence system, it is the lowest-level ambush corpse corresponding to the inhuman, an inhuman, no matter how to deal with a few living corpses, right?" Doesn't that mean that living corpses are inferior to humans? ”

"Then it's up to you how you define humans."

Zhu Shiqiu smiled.

When it comes to academic issues, he also temporarily restrained his sadness, and for the first time showed the wise side of a scholar.

"If you mean the new humans represented by the Inhumans, then I can tell you with certainty that yes, the Inhumans, or the New Humans, are superior to the living corpses, there is no doubt about that."

"New humans?" Lin Xi was stunned and seemed to understand something.

"Hmm." The old man scratched his messy hair, stretched out his fingers, dipped his hair oil in some unknown time, and scribbled a tree-like diagram on the table.

"Well, it's humans, oh, I mean ordinary humans before the Cataclysm." He pointed to the pedestal at the bottom of the tree.

Then, he staggered to draw three small branches on the pedestal, "These three are clearly Inhumans, Corpses, and ordinary people like me who have neither evolved nor transformed in the new era...... This can be disregarded. ”

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he crossed out the third branch.

Lin Xi showed a sudden expression of realization on his face: it turned out that in this system, living corpses were the same as inhumans, and they were also different evolutionary directions of humans in the old era.

"In fact, this parasitic gene from ancient times has always been buried in our bodies." Zhu Shiqiu tapped the tree diagram on the table, and his voice was a little vicissitudes, "This parasitic gene is like an evolutionary switch, once that kind of dark cloud appears, it will start the process of evolution, among which the one who fails in evolution is the living corpse, and the one who succeeds in evolution is you...... Inhuman. ”

Lin Xi frowned, "But I still don't understand why the evolution of the living corpse failed. ”

Wu Qiuli interjected, "Is it because of the loss of human consciousness?" ”

"That's one reason, but it's not the main one."

Zhu Shiqiu shook his head, "In fact, in the theory of evolution that you didn't see as ordinary people before, wisdom has never been the only criterion for higher life, and it can't even be counted as a standard, because many imaginary super lifeforms, even if they don't have human consciousness, are much more advanced and advanced than human beings...... Truth be told, if this definition is true, as long as such life really exists, then even in the harsh environment of outer space, they can quickly multiply into a race. ”

"So, since wisdom and consciousness are not the standard of higher life, what is? Instinctive? ”

Thinking of the existence of instinct, a trace of gloom flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, and he asked casually.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came out, Zhu Shiqiu's body was shocked, and he looked at him with a strange look and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was congested, "Haven't you seen the report submitted by Xia Qianzhu until now?" ”

Seeing that the old man still had a blank look on his face, he had no choice but to tell 1510 about his battle with the instinctive celestial man again.

"No wonder!"

After listening to his explanation, Zhu Shiqiu finally showed a suddenly enlightened expression.

He patted Lin Xi on the shoulder and said, "You're right, instinct is the most fundamental will of life, in the vast universe, instinct is actually more able to adapt to the cruel environment than wisdom, strictly speaking, instinct is the real master of our body, and we are the latecomers of the dove occupying the magpie's nest......"

As he spoke, he whispered a few more words in his mouth, to the effect that this time the instinct came out so early, and Lin Xi felt a burst of pain.

"What an unpleasant inference."

Wu Qiuli sat on the side and shook her head repeatedly, and Lin Xi hurriedly walked up to hold her hand.

No matter who suddenly hears that his body is just stolen, he must not feel very comfortable.

"I'll talk about that later, and then we'll get back to the previous topic."

The old man ignored their children's affections, and simply snapped his fingers again, saying, "The reason why I say that the evolution of living corpses has failed is not because they have no intelligence, in fact, the intelligence of the higher living corpses, such as the wandering corpses, the immortal bones, and the flying yakshas, is not inferior to ordinary humans, or even higher. ”

"Where they really fail is that living corpses don't have the ability to evolve. From the moment the corpses are transformed, their hierarchy has been set, what they were at the beginning, and what they were in the end. A corpse is also a corpse for a lifetime, and it is the same if it does not turn into bones, it will never be possible to climb to a higher realm, it is for this reason that although at the beginning of each disaster, the living corpse can form an advantage over humans and even alien beasts, but this advantage will not last long at all, and it will be suppressed. ”
