Chapter 21: The Cavemen
After the group gathered, they found a suitable place to camp, built a bonfire, and sat around.
The two fed back the situation to the others, and then Wang Xiaotian began to analyze: "According to the information that the old water monkey said, the end of the world more than a thousand years ago should be the Big Bang. ”
"We have analyzed before that water has a blocking effect on radiation. The so-called demon should be a mutated creature in Lake Bugar that has been exposed to nuclear radiation. As for the god it speaks of, it's some crazy biologist. ”
"There is information that at the end of the old era, during the world wars, there were many official or non-governmental scientific research organizations, and many crazy experiments were carried out. A considerable part of it is the study of how to use animals in warfare. ”
"And the god pet it said, maybe it's the aquatic animal warrior who has successfully researched it. It's just that these fighters are all disposable. ”
Hu Minghui: "What's the matter with the caveman?"
Wang Xiaotian: "Even water monkeys can evolve to write words, can't other animals evolve into cavemen?"
Ye Zhanjian: "That's it, before I saw it with my own eyes, who knew what was going on?"
Early the next morning, the group joined Crebanda and walked north along the shore of the lake, about thirty kilometers to a hill.
Kerry Banda led the group and turned left and right in the labyrinthine path in the hills, and I don't know if the road is so complicated, or if Kri Panda, the water monkey, doesn't remember the way.
After wandering around for a long time, Kribanda led the group up a hill, and when it was almost at the top, it motioned for everyone to lie down, and then quietly climbed to the top of the hill.
Everyone looked puzzled. They didn't sense any danger in the vicinity, so why was Kribandar so careful?
The crowd followed Krjanda to the top of the hillside, and then Krilpanda pointed far away and motioned for them to lie on the ground and look that way.
Wang Xiaotian lay on the ground and looked at the place pointed by Kerrypanda. It didn't matter what it looked like, and it startled him.
Two kilometers away from them was the highest hill in the vicinity. Halfway up the hill, there is a cave. Outside the cave is a magnificent gate more than 20 meters high, and a huge stone statue is erected on each side of the gate.
The stone statue has long been dilapidated, and it can be vaguely distinguished, and it is a warrior statue with a sword and armor in the style of two mid-old eras.
The door to the cave is open, and there are some human-like creatures coming in and out.
The reason why it is said to be similar to people is because Wang Xiaotian is not sure whether they are human or not.
Their appearance is not much different from that of a human, but they are two laps larger than ordinary people and are unusually fat. They were disheveled and filthy, and they could not see the color of their skin at all, except for a dirty and torn animal skin around their waists.
Shouldn't cavemen be short enough to burrow?
Wang Xiaotian wondered in his heart, pulled Kerrypanda, picked up a stone from the ground, and wrote, "They are cavemen?"
Kribanda nodded.
Wang Xiaotian: "How many people?"
Kribanda: "Very many, too many to count. ”
Wang Xiaotian: "Why don't you take a closer look at them?"
Krilpanda: "Their eyesight is very good, and if they get too close, they will find it." ”
Wang Xiaotian took out his notebook and pen and wrote down these situations for others to see.
After reading it, Hu Minghui thought about it and wrote: "Why do those cavemen look similar to humans?"
Zhang Zijing: "That's right, it looks more like a human than those water monkeys." ”
Ye Zhanjian: "Could it be a remnant who survived the old era?"
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and wrote: "If the era explosion destroys all scientific and technological products, and the survivor group is not large enough, civilization will never develop, and there will even be a regression of civilization." ”
Zhang Zijing: "What the hell is going on, let's go over and see." Xiaotian, you let it stay here and wait. ”
Wang Xiaotian wrote on the ground and told Kerry Banda to wait here, and they went over to see the situation.
Krizpanda's eyes were worried. It felt that those cavemen were terrible, and Wang Xiaotian was very dangerous.
Wang Xiaotian smiled and didn't say anything.
The group hurried on the road. On the way, Ye Zhanjian caught up and showed Wang Xiaotian the words written in his notebook: "That water monkey, does it regard you as its master? ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and wrote back: "Don't be joking. There is no master. ”
Ye Zhanjian: "Do you really think that those cavemen are the remnants of the old era?"
Wang Xiaotian: "Eighty percent of the same. ”
The group quietly approached the cave, and then Wang Xiaotian used the newly formulated tactical gestures to divide the goals to everyone.
Six people shot at the same time, and it only took five or six seconds to knock out all the more than ten cavemen at the entrance of the cave, placing them on both sides of the gate, disguised as dozing. Then, Zhang Zijing took the lead, Hu Minghui pushed back, and the six people quickly drilled into the cave.
The corridors of the cave are very wide, and the walls of the cave are very smooth, except that they are painted with rudimentary patterns. It is also unknown whether the civilization of these cavemen has just begun to develop, or has degraded to a prehistoric stage.
The hallway winds its way down to a hall on the second floor. There were a lot of cavemen eating in the hall.
When they saw Wang Xiaotian and them, they immediately let out a piercing scream, and then rushed over wielding wooden sticks, stone axes, and bone spears.
Zhang Zijing directly pulled out the "Panlong", rushed into the caveman like an arrow, and opened a killing ring.
Ye Jianjian and the others also drew their weapons. However, they did not take the initiative to kill the cavemen, but the cavemen came to besiege them as if they were crazy. They had to fight back.
After more than ten minutes, there was not a single living caveman in the hall.
Wang Xiaotian never drew his sword. On the one hand, it is because his strength is the weakest, and he has always been protected by Ye Zhanjian and others in the middle. On the other hand, he couldn't bear it, and drew his sword to kill the poor cavemen.
The strength of these cavemen is at the level of the fifth-level Force. But they met two eighth-level Force Grandmasters, two Force Masters, and a seventh-level master-level Moli, and they didn't have any power to fight back at all.
Wang Xiaotian looked at the corpses of the cavemen all over the ground, the ground was full of the blood, body fluids, and organs of the cavemen, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood and rancidity.
Wang Xiaotian wanted to rush over, grabbed Zhang Zijing by the collar and asked him loudly: "Why do you want to kill these cavemen? These cavemen have no ability to threaten them. Why can't they be spared?"
But he didn't. He knew very well that to be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to himself. The cavemen rushed over, and without killing them, they simply couldn't get out.
Ever since they decided to win the trust of the water monkeys, these cavemen have been their enemies, no matter how weak they are, whether they are unarmed or not, as long as they are enemies, they cannot show mercy.
Wang Xiaotian was still in a daze, Ye Zhanjian came over and pulled him, and quickly followed Zhang Zijing.
The group continued down the hall to the third floor. On both sides of the corridor, there are rooms.
I don't know if they have killed all the cavemen just now, or if the remaining cavemen are afraid to hide, and there are no cavemen in the rooms they saw along the way.
The group searched all the way to the bottom of the cavern, and unexpectedly found a room with many books and notebooks.
Wang Xiaotian was surprised. He walked in at once, took out a book in his hand, opened it, and looked at it.
When the others saw Wang Xiaotian start reading, they didn't rush to urge him. Because they don't know these words, and Wang Xiaotian does, maybe he can find some clues from the books.
Taking advantage of Wang Xiaotian's reading skills, Zhang Zijing asked Mo Li to bring Kerry Panda and let him see with his own eyes the situation of the caveman being eliminated.
Kerry Banda just walked to the hall on the second floor, and when he saw the situation in the Shura field, he collapsed on the ground in fright and couldn't get up. Moli had to take it out of the cave.
Wang Xiaotian flipped through the books one after another, quickly read more than ten books, and then picked up the notebook and flipped through them.
It took him more than an hour to finish reading the book and notebook, and then put them away as they were. Then he stood up and bowed deeply to the books and notebooks.
Everyone was surprised when they saw it, but when they saw Wang Xiaotian's heavy face, they didn't ask.
Back in the village of Keribanda, Wang Xiaotian did not go in, but asked Kerrypanda to tell the elder that the cavemen in the caves in the hills had been basically killed, and hoped that the elder would abide by the agreement. Take them to the temple tomorrow, or you will be killed.
His eyes were full of fear, and he quickly nodded in agreement, and then hurried to the elder's shack in the village.
When the group returned to the campsite, Wang Xiaotian sat down and began to be in a daze. It wasn't until two hours later that Ye Jianjian couldn't hold back anymore and went over to write to him: "What happened to make you so unhappy?"
Wang Xiaotian sighed and wrote: "Those cavemen are indeed the remnants of the old era. Some of those books are survival knowledge written in various languages, and some are technical books on weaving, pottery, iron smelting, and domesticating livestock. ”
Ye Zhanjian was stunned, "What? How could those books appear in the cavemen's cave?"
Wang Xiaotian: "The notebook records the ins and outs of this matter. At the end of the old era, there was a wealthy man named Kulinov. At that time, the world war had been fought for many years, and there was no end in sight. ”
"At that time, Kulinov was not young, and his relatives in the prime of life were all drafted to fight. He was surrounded by many young relatives, as well as bereaved children whom he kindly adopted. In order to allow his loved ones and children to survive the war here, Kulinov began to build shelters. ”
"Since he is not a top rich man, his assets are very limited, and his skills and resources are insufficient. The so-called shelter is nothing more than an extension of a former cave, with only basic protective functions, storing a large amount of food, clothing, drinking water and utensils. ”
His relatives and children are still young, and he has no confidence that he can accompany his children to the end. So, he collected many editions of the book of survival knowledge. I hope that in the event of an accident in the future, other children can learn survival knowledge and live strong by reading these books. ”
Cheng Yunshi read the content of Wang Xiaotian's writing, and wrote curiously: "What happened later? Why did those cavemen become like this? It is said that after they learned that knowledge, they should be able to continue the fire of civilization." ”
Wang Xiaotian: "Otherwise, how can I say that people are not as good as heaven." Kulinov planned well, but no one expected that a nuclear war would suddenly break out here. He was old and frail, and the defenses he built did not have the ability to protect against nuclear radiation. ”
"Shortly after the nuclear war, Kulinov died. The adults around him had all swept away their possessions. Only the children he had adopted remained. They were not very literate in the first place, and after Kulinov's death, the books he had carefully prepared became decorations. ”
"Many of the children who hid in the cave were lucky to survive. It's just that due to the effects of nuclear radiation, their bodies have mutated, their brains have become stupid, and their bodies have become taller and stronger. Due to the mutation of their bodies, they survived in a very harsh environment and survived the Anno Big Bang. ”
"More than a thousand years have passed, and the descendants of these lucky ones, due to radiation mutations and chaotic group marriages, have become less and less intelligent, and they simply cannot read those books and notes. However, they attached great importance to the books and notebooks, and kept them in the deepest rooms as holy objects, and cleaned them regularly. ”
But what's the use? they don't recognize the words in books and notebooks, and they can never learn that knowledge from books. Their fate is a tragedy that makes people sigh. ”
