One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 278 The Gap Between Ancestors
In the south of the mountain range, Qinshan Monitoring Station.

Captain Wen and his party had already returned here from the north of the mountain range.

Because they have to sort out materials and some data, they haven't left yet, and they still need to stay here for a while.

However, in his spare time, Captain Wen will also pay attention to the protection stations and monitoring stations located in various places in the mountains, and ask them to pay attention to whether they have observed a trace of a young expert.

However, except for seeing Feng Yi's figure that day at the very beginning, he didn't find it again after that.

They only knew that Feng Yi had entered the deep mountains, where there was no surveillance system deployed.Less traveled and more dangerous.

After that, Feng Yi has not contacted anyone outside.

"That kid, I don't know what I'm doing now."

Captain Wen looked at the sky outside the window and found something, frowned slightly, and said to one of the team members.

"Call out the real-time weather observation data to have a look."

After a while, in addition to the real-time data, there are also real-time monitoring images that can be received from all over the mountain range.

Not in the deep mountains, but in the mountains, several protection stations and monitoring stations that can be connected to the Internet sent ground and aerial photos.

"It's foggy again in the south."

"Huh? No, it's also in the north! It needs to rain in a large area!"

Captain Wen looked at the real-time weather monitoring data on the screen and felt a little headache.

This kind of climate conditions, people who are located in the deep mountains, must have many inconveniences.

He worried about Feng Yi's safety.

In the mountains, there are many local microclimates.But in the current situation, large-scale cloud and fog changes in the mountain area, covering the north and south of the mountain range.This is not very good for the people in the mountains.

Most of the time, the climate is different between the south and north of the mountains.

As the warm and humid air flow in the south climbed along the mountain, it was blocked by the cold air in the north, forming a scene of clouds and fog in the south and clear skies in the north.

From a high altitude, you can clearly see the spectacular sea of ​​clouds that is blocked there in the south.

The natural wonders caused by the climate contrast between the north and south sides of the mountains are very attractive to many foreign tourists.

Therefore, many people are now thinking of finding a suitable foothold for aerial photography when they see the tendency of fog in the south.

However, today's weather is different from what they thought.

Whether it is the south or the north of the mountain range, it is all surrounded by clouds and mist.

At this time, the north of the mountains.

On the road across the mountains, there are pedestrians and play groups at service stations on some sections of the road.

Looking at the weather forecast that they suddenly received on their mobile phones, they were wondering.

"This... After the warm and humid air flow in the south has crossed the mountains, it has continued to push northward strongly?"

"No matter what the reason is, the weather is sure to change, and we must find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible."

"It's good to have a little rain. Compared with usual in the north, there is too little rain this year."

"It was rumored at the beginning of the year that there might be a severe drought, and if one didn't pay attention, the field would be dry."

"It's raining today, you can save a lot of water today."

The locals were talking, and the tourists also smiled and answered a few words.

Neither tourists nor locals took this sudden weather change to heart.

The climate in the mountains is already changeable, how rare can it be?
It's just a little more troublesome to travel.

"The weather in this area is unpredictable, and it must be dangerous in the mountains." A college student who came to travel said.

A local old man sitting next to him heard the words and said: "Dangerous! It's very dangerous! Except for the planned tourist routes, don't run around in other places. How many people go in and never come out. The animals in the mountains are all killed, let alone people. , When I was a child, the control here was not so strict. I was taken into the mountain by my uncle, only paying attention to my feet, and was almost crushed to death by the falling stones from above!

"Furthermore, as I was walking, a group of dark clouds came over, and the rain splashed all over my body! All of these were fine, but many of those who encountered sudden low temperatures failed to come out. Hey, it's impossible to guard against!"

Many outsiders actually have no idea about these things. It’s like listening to a story.

However, the next moment, the uncle said: "There is also a poisonous snake, that snake called cauliflower, it is very poisonous!"

A student asked: "Cauliflower snakes? There are indeed cauliflower snakes here, but they are not poisonous."

Uncle: "No! It's a poisonous snake! It looks gaudy and has a triangular head! Most of them are encountered in the south, and we rarely encounter it in the north... I can't say for sure. After all, there are no absolutes about things in the mountains. Which cave hides a big snake!"

In the mountains, within a certain mountain.

There was no light in the cave, it was pitch black.

There was also silence.

Even the airflow from the hidden vents is almost silent.

However, from time to time in the cave, a little buzzing and crackling could be heard, as if some heavy object was moving slightly on the ground.

Feng Yi coiled there and fell into a deep sleep.

Or, at this moment, he has fallen into a dream.

Due to the situation seen in the dream, the tail moved slightly.Just like a person kicking his feet in a dream, he doesn't feel it when he falls asleep, but he does have a reaction.

If the heart rate is monitored, Feng Yi's heart beats much faster than usual at the moment.

He is not in a resting state, his emotions are fluctuating violently, and he is not calm at all.

Feng Yi was dreaming.

Just like what he thinks before falling asleep, it can also be seen as a form of "ancestor dreaming".

Still an immersive experience.

In the dream, Feng Yi knew that he was in a deep mountain.

The air also seems to be warmer and more humid than it is now.

Surrounded by towering trees and lush grass, there are endless ridges and cloud peaks in the distance.

But, everything is blurry.

Only vague outlines and figures can be seen.

The mountain environment seems to be perilous.

A team of five, approaching from a distance, walking... or rather, crawling?
The same as Feng Yi's original form, their upper body is in the shape of a human, and the lower body is a long, snake-like tail.

The posture is casual and leisurely, completely ignoring the murderous intention hidden in the mountains.

Feng Yi couldn't see their faces clearly, but from those similar figures, he could be sure that they must be the ancestors!

Having had the experience of a small island in the sea, Feng Yi doesn't think that these are his fictional fantasies.

He's pretty clear-headed now.

These should be a piece of memory unlocked in the DNA, but it is Feng Yi himself, not the recorder, who is substituted into it.

It's an amazing way of remembering.

It's just that this kind of memory cannot clearly record all the details like a camera.With the inheritance of genetic material for tens of thousands of years, what is left is only a blurred image, but it can give you an idea of ​​what is going on.

Feng Yi looked at them.

They were in this world, they existed.

It doesn't just exist in the scrolls and patterns of utensils of the ancients.

Really, lived once on this planet!
Excited?

Of course Feng Yi was excited!

Whether it is the deceased aunt or Feng Yi himself, the current environment can only allow one individual to survive.

That means, for the rest of his life, he will not be accompanied by his peers.

Some things, you can only hold back your heart.

Some secrets can only be kept by oneself.

Even if there are trusted people around, even if there are blood relatives, it is different after all.

Feng Yi kept a distance away, watching them wantonly fighting in the forest.

Even though he couldn't see their faces clearly, and couldn't hear any sounds, Feng Yi could see the strength they showed when they were playing around from the huge trees, hard rocks, and broken and cracked scenes.

Don't worry about crushing the opponent because you can't hold back your strength.

Don't worry that your friends around you can't bear your weight.

Can play around wantonly.

Maybe the two young boys were fighting, and after a while, the older one raised his hand and threw one away, curling his tail and hitting the other on the ground.

Wood and grass fly, and the ground shakes and rocks crack.

After a while, several people gathered together as if nothing had happened, discussing something.

Feng Yi looked at them, his eyes traveled through thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

With envy and longing.

When they gradually approached, Feng Yi could see more clearly.

Although only the outlines of the figures can be seen, it can be distinguished that these people, both male and female, are very strong.

Very strong!

Feng Yi raised his neck.

The envy and yearning just now brought a bit of bitterness and complexity.

"Ancestors, they are so strong!"

Feng Yi moved his tail and stood up a little more, just like standing on tiptoe in human form, making himself a little taller.

But under the background of the other party, it is only a little bit.

Feng Yi couldn't even touch the opponent's shoulder "on tiptoe", which was a big difference!
Just like an ordinary person, facing those top centers on the professional basketball court.

There are obvious gaps in figure, physique, all aspects, and high myopia!
Feng Yi stood in front of the opponent, as if stunted!
This comparison is only for the inconspicuous individuals among the ancestors. If it is the stronger ones, it is even more incomparable. It makes Feng Yi look like a dwarf, or a dwarf larva.

The ancestors are big trees, and Feng Yi can only be regarded as a fragile seedling.

Sure enough, the periods of life are different, and the degree of growth and development is also different.

The genetic level is no longer the same.

In order to survive in today's "barren" environment, the survival tendency of genes and the resulting mutations are already very different from those of their ancestors.

This difference, this stark contrast, is like—

The seemingly strong anaconda is facing the titan anaconda 6000 million years ago!
This visual impact...

It was also quite a blow.

Compared with his ancestors, Feng Yi is really good at cooking.

But, who makes the living environment different.

There is nothing embarrassing about not growing up to your ancestors.

The air we breathe and the energy resources we enjoy are different.

It's like the comparison between the current anaconda and the titan anaconda.

The climate, oxygen concentration, food, etc. are all different.

During that time, the genes don't suppress growth too much.

Now, however, specific growth-suppressing genes become active.Anacondas also don't grow to the size of titanias.

The same goes for Feng Yi.

Those energy substances in the air are limited, and the extent to which they can support Feng Yi's growth and development is also limited.In order to survive longer, the growth-inhibiting gene made him grow slower and more limited.

If the necessary energy and matter are regarded as the "food" necessary for survival, with this amount of matter now, Feng Yi can't live to the age of his ancestors at all.

The ancestors were in a period when they had a surplus of supplies, and they could eat a bowl and throw a bowl for a meal, and there was a period when they smashed a bowl for fun.

And Feng Yi?
Feng Yi is in a period of famine, if he is full today, he may not be able to have "food" tomorrow.

Can this be compared?

Perhaps, the ancestors were able to flexibly switch forms when they were children.

Feng Yi compares with them——

To put it mildly, he looks more refined.

To put it bluntly: stunted, too dull.
