MTL - The Return of Cambrian Period-Chapter 4 Global evolution

Turning around the corner, Cong Xia suddenly said, "Would you say that pine tree would attack others?"

"Unclear."

"Then we should warn others? There are still people on the road."

Cheng Tianbi stopped and looked down at him, "You're not awake yet, are you?"

Cong Xia froze.

Cheng Tianbi stepped closer to him, "It's been eighteen hours since the earthquake, and the pine tree's volume has expanded more than 400 times, and it hasn't stopped. Do you know what this means?"

This is the word that this dumb soldier has spoken the most since the two met. Cong Xia once thought that his language ability was impaired, but this discontinuous sentence has already revealed their situation.

Cong Xia knows that his thinking has not been transformed from the heyday of peace, and he still feels that everything that happened is a nightmare, and even after a while, the crisis will pass and the society will gradually return to normal fantasy. After all, In the history of the world, there are countless calamities. How can human beings who dominate the planet be defeated by an earthquake?

But he also knew in his mind that according to the speed of evolution of these animals and plants, as long as this phenomenon does not stop, take the cork tree as an example. At this time tomorrow, the entire building cannot fit its body, and its root system will Gripping the ground nearly a hundred meters deep, its loose pine needles can poke any living thing close to it into a sieve.

This is reality.

This is reality!

What warning signs he wants to set up to avoid the approach of pedestrians is completely meaningless. As long as evolution does not stop, human living space in this city will be very short. He cannot help anyone, and he cannot even guarantee himself. Security.

Cong Xia shook his fist. "You are right, I want to be awake as soon as possible, and you should help me. You obviously know more than me, but you refuse to tell me why? I do n’t want to be so unknown. Without leaving, I had planned to stay here for a lifetime! Either you tell me what you know, or you stun me, I think it is comfortable to move your mouth, or to carry a personal comfort. "

Cheng Tianbi narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "I can throw you here, you can't live for three days."

"You must have to take me away for some reason, otherwise you won't come." The more information he has, the greater the chances that he can survive, even if the soldier is going to beat him, he will bet .

Cheng Tianbi gave him a cold look, put the backpack on the ground, unzipped it, and Cong Xia looked down. Good guy, the military travel bag was full of weapons. Cheng Tianbi took out a pistol and a dagger and handed it to Cong Xia.

Cong Xia hesitated and took it. For the first time, he touched the real gun and held it heavily in his hand. He was a little nervous, afraid that others would see it, and wanted to quickly put it in his clothes, but found that there was no suitable place to put it. In the summer, he only wore a t-shirt and jeans. He couldn't always put it in his trouser pocket, and the gun would be exposed.

Chengtian Wall frowned, took back the pistol, "Will it work?"

"I know how to do it, but I haven't practiced it."

"This is a safety plug. Pull it off like this when you use it." After Cheng Tianbi opened the safety plug, he pulled the gun to the upper chamber, and then closed the safety bolt again. "The gun is already loaded. When you use it, pull the safety lever off."

Cong Xiadao: "I, I know the steps." He took the gun again, embarrassed, "Where to put it, the clothes are too thin."

"Pants-in the crotch," Cheng Tianbi said briefly.

Cong Xia couldn't help looking down at his crotch.

Cheng Tianbi pushed his head and let him see the holster hanging on his waist.

Cong Xia smiled awkwardly, "Give me a holster."

"Do you think I'm kidding? Plugging in the crotch is easy."

"But, there ... it affects walking."

Cheng Tianbi grabbed the gun impatiently, pulled his shoulders and let him make a circle, then lifted his clothes and stuffed the gun into his waist.

The cold barrel slid roughly over the skin of Cong Xia's waist, and it hurt a little. Cong Xia's body became stiff, and he pushed him all day, "Go."

The position was recalibrated with gps, and the two walked towards the airport together.

Cong Xia followed him step by step, "Big brother, what you said on the road just now, can you tell me what you know now?"

"ask."

"What's going on? What's going on with the mutation or evolution of all the creatures around it?"

Cheng Tianbi said: "I don't know more than you. Biological evolution is related to earthquakes. After the earthquake, some energy was radiated from the Golmud area and spread to the whole country and even globally. It does n’t stop, it ’s only a matter of time before it spreads globally. "

"What kind of energy is this energy? How can energy not fail during transmission? Most importantly, why does it cause species mutation?"

Cheng Tianbi shook his head, "I don't know."

Cong Xia pondered for a while, "The collective evolution of such species reminded me of the Cambrian life explosion more than 500 million years ago. If we only compare the results, the Cambrian and the events we are experiencing are highly consistent, and new creatures are born. The rapid evolution and rise of species has greatly enriched the earth ’s species. However, the so-called 'rapid' evolution at the time was only relative to the history of geology, which actually took millions of years and was divided into several points. This stage, and the rate of evolution I am experiencing is not only a million times faster than that of the Cambrian period. From the perspective of any human science, it is extremely unreasonable, but it really happened. The energy emitted by that earthquake, It must be trivial, is it related to hormones ... "

Cheng Tianbi glanced at him with some surprises. Cong Xia was the object of his impeccable task, which was a burden to him. I did not expect that this person's brain was not stupid. He said: "Some people in Beijing also raised two Subcambrian vision. "

"Second Cambrian?"

The sky wall nodded.

"When did you contact Beijing? What else did they say? Did you talk to my second uncle? He is an expert in paleontology. He takes the research of the Cambrian as his lifelong pursuit. He must know a lot. . "

"Three hours ago, then I got the task to take you back to Beijing."

"Anything else? What did you say?"

"It is said that after eight hours from the earthquake, Golmud City in Qinghai was already in an uncontrolled state, the hardware system was paralyzed, and most of the communication was blocked. All the signals were finally sent for help."

"Is it caused by the earthquake or ..."

"It's not clear. The main highway to Golmud was destroyed by the earthquake. Helicopters could not land because all roads were covered by weeds. The only helicopter landed on the top of a building and soon there was no audio. . Outsiders can't get in, people inside can't get out. "

Cong Xia's body shook. "The people inside ..."

"Most die," said Cheng Tian, ​​expressionlessly, "evolution requires food."

Cong Xia clenched his fists. On a hot summer day, he still felt cold. He knew that Cheng Tianbi was right. His compatriots would face not only the food crisis, but also the food crisis of other species. Golmud, the center of the earthquake, first fell, followed by the entire Qinghai Province, then spread to the northwest and Yunguichuan, and then to the whole country, and finally ...

With the development of the current state of affairs, the living space of human beings will soon be occupied by evolutionary species, and human beings will not only lose their dominance, but may also become the most vulnerable species, and will be extinct.

How terrible, it took humans millions of years to climb to the top of the food chain, and an earthquake took less than a day to subvert everything!

Cong Xia couldn't think of any other adjectives except Tianjie.

Cong Xia trembled: "Can we escape from Yunnan?"

Cheng Tianbi's voice was calm, "I don't know."

Cong Xia was silent. He recalled in his brain the speed with which food ** phenomenon, which he had deduced with netizens on the hacker forum this morning, spread to the whole country. At that time, he estimated the future changes and concluded that the food ** phenomenon had spread throughout the country. The time is about 55 hours. The diffusion speed of the food phenomenon is actually the diffusion speed of the kind of energy that Cheng Tianbi said. He assumes that Golmud is the center, and draws a circle of unit 55 with the radius from Golmud to the border of Heilongjiang Province, Golmud is 1, Fuyuan County is 55, and Kunming is between 10 and 15, if Golmud is Eight hours after the quake entered the "state of asking for help", that is, Golmud as 1 was uncontrolled 8 hours after the quake, then Kunming as 10 to 15, that is, 80 to 120 hours, or 3 to Within 5 days, it will fall!

Cong Xia's eyes widened and he froze Cheng Tianbi.

Chengtian Wall frowned at him.

He repeated his thoughts just now, and his voice was shaking when he said it. He is extremely bottomless now, and he always feels that they will not leave here smoothly by air, because most flights are delayed or cancelled today. Since that energy can spread to the earth, it is likely to affect the sky.

And, even if they arrive in Beijing, what happens afterwards? If things don't change, Beijing will sooner or later ...

Cheng Tianbi nodded, "The analysis of 3 to 5 days is correct, and they gave me this time."

Cong Xia only felt his legs weak, and he smiled bitterly: "I can't imagine what this place I'm standing in now will look like in a few days."

Cheng Tianbi did not answer this question. In fact, no one can answer what the world will become, and no one can answer.

Cong Xia sighed deeply, "Say something else, for example, say you, did you talk to my second uncle? Is he OK?"

"No, I received the order directly."

"What kind of army are you? Which army do you belong to?"

Cheng Tianbi ignored him.

Cong Xia asked himself again, and he felt a little depressed. "Big brother, tell me a few more words. Maybe we can not live for a few days. It is not good to be a companion before death."

Cheng Tianbi glanced at him, "Want to die?"

Cong Xia froze for a moment, "I don't want to, but I think the end is really coming, and I can't live."

"indeed."

Cong Xia cried, "Maybe you can live longer than me, hey, do you feel getting colder?"

The wall stopped for a long time.

The visitor felt it a bit, it was getting colder and colder. Now it is three volts, how could the temperature drop suddenly?

Three people came face to face in the distance. They seemed to be a family of three, all in a hurry, and carrying their luggage. When they saw Cong Xia, they said, "Do you plan to go south?"

Cong Xia nodded, "Almost, where are you going?"

"Beside the coast, it ’s okay to hear about the sea. Otherwise, the food will break in a few hours, the refrigerator will be broken, and people will starve to death soon. The smart people are now going out, no matter what. , Avoid it again. "The middle-aged man rubbed his arms after saying," Strange, why is it so cold suddenly? "

"But many planes have been cancelled. How do you get there?"

"It was originally a car, but it turned out to be like this. We were going to try our luck at the train station. There are not many people going out now. I really have to wait until a few days when the food is too bad to eat before leaving. Nothing can go on, little brother, hurry up. "

After the family of three left, Cheng Tianbi looked at the thermometer on the watch and said, "It's not right, the temperature has dropped by eight degrees."

"Sure enough! Let's hurry back to get the clothes, the ghost knows how much this is going to drop, and I'm not surprised at all from summer to winter."

Cheng Tianbi grabbed his arm and dragged him into a residential building, "a waste of time, not to mention too late."

He crossed his wrists in front of Cong Xia. Cong Xia was surprised to find that the effort of their speech had been lowered by two degrees, and now it was nineteen degrees. From twenty-nine degrees to nineteen degrees, I'm afraid it won't work for ten minutes!

"where are we going?"

"Find clothes."

Cheng Tianbi dragged him upstairs and knocked when he saw the door. As soon as someone answered, he knocked on the next floor. The two went to the seventh floor, and finally knocked on a door that could not answer. Cheng Tianbi pulled out With the pistol, Cong Xia only heard the fame of the silencer, and the door lock was opened by the sky wall.

Cong Xia whispered, "What are you doing, in case someone is inside!"

"To shut up."

Cong Xia was so cold that he took a nap and pulled Cheng Tianbi's wrist for a look, fifteen degrees!

As soon as the door opened, he rushed into the room with Cheng Tianbi. The temperature in the room was too attractive.

After Cheng Tianbi entered the room, he deliberately kicked a vase and made a loud bang, but there was no response in the room.

Cong Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that nobody was really there. With the guilt of trespassing to private houses, he carefully took off his shoes. He closed the windows in the past, getting colder and colder, too evil!

Cheng Tianbi said: "Turn on the air conditioner and find clothes."

The temperature in the room was still above 20 degrees, and the two relaxed a lot.

In order to ease the nervous mood, Cong Xia even dared to drink a glass of water, and then decided to go to the bedroom to find a few thick clothes and make another plan.

He had just taken a few steps inside, and he heard a noise coming from the direction of the bedroom, similar to the sound of something heavy dragging on the ground.

Cong Xiaton stopped, and Cheng Tianbi walked over gently, and quietly touched his gun.

Cheng Tianbi said coldly, "Who is inside, come out."

The sound of dragging stopped, but the sound of that dragging accelerated suddenly the next second. Cong Xia's scalp looked at the bedroom door numbly and saw a brown-red hairy creature rushing out of the door. It's huge, close to two meters!

Cheng Tianbi shot a shot at the thing without hesitation, the thing howled, fell to the ground, and rolled back to the back of the sofa. Cong Xia and Cheng Tianbi only saw it clearly at this time. Is a monkey.

However, the monster with red-faced fangs, fierce eyes, long hair falling to the ground, two meters in length and extremely fast, is far from the monkeys they know.

Cong Xia was scared to move, his legs and stomach trembled, cold sweat came out of the forehead of the sky, his eyes stared at the monkey hiding behind the sofa.

None of them moved.
