Lin Jing's mood was extremely complicated, turned his head away, and looked at the scene in front of him with some ecstasy.

The wristband on the wrist entered the standby mode.

After the jellyfish brought them down into the deep sea, their huge yellow bodies dissipated with the flowing sea water.

The deep sea is actually brighter than people think, and many underwater animals emit light to attract prey.

Especially now that time is passing, everything is evolving, and the aurora is in chaos.

What the system updates is living things, and the non-living things on the surface, such as rocks, have not changed much.They found a cave on the bottom of the sea, and after entering, Xu Wanzhi directly took off the bracelet and developed another function of it - lighting.The cave was empty, and Lin Jing found a clean place to sit.It was so exciting to dive into the deep sea with jellyfish, and he felt a little relieved when he landed.

The sound of the waves came from a distant place, and the emptiness was vast, and this small space was isolated from the world.

The entrance of the cave is like an invisible barrier, separating the two worlds.

Outside, the earth changes, the times change, and the light and shadow of the deep sea are chaotic. The magnificence is like a series of planetary explosions in the universe, and billions of years are reduced to one night.

Xu Wanzhi's voice was also a little gentle in such an environment, and said: "Go to sleep first, and recover your strength."

Lin Jing stared at him for a while, then slowly said, "Maybe I won't be able to sleep for a while."

Xu Wanzhi turned his head and smiled at him: "Why, do you want me to coax you to sleep?"

Lin Jing was used to his foolish teasing, and said, "No need, I might go to sleep later."

Xu Wanzhi pursed his lips: "What a coincidence, I'm not sleepy now."

Lin Jing twitched the corner of his mouth, then lowered his head to study the illustrated book and the camera.

Xu Wanzhi, who stayed awake from morning to night in the gate of life and death, seemed to be unsealed in this world, and was not so sleepy.

Leaning on the rock, with one hand behind his head, his beautiful and cold eyes are also looking outside.

The next era is the Silurian period, and his understanding of the Paleozoic era is basically through Xu Wan's mouth.

The Silurian period was a major stage in the evolution of vertebrates, that is, when the grassroots of fish rose, but the overlord of the era was the sea scorpion and the horseshoe crab.The prey that was predated and killed by the Nautilus in the previous world finally became the master and became a hunter, waving its giant pincers across the deep sea.

Lin Jing flipped through the illustrated book again, and every photo was a microcosm of a race.

He paused, and asked a question: "What exactly do you think is the victory of a species?"

Xu Wanzhi: "En?"

Lin Jing thought: "Stand at the top of the food chain, or continue to reproduce and survive?"

Xu Wanzhi: "What do you think?"

Lin Jing: "I think, let's count it all. If you are in the sun and the world is beautiful until you die, or you are as humble as dust and live forever, it is actually a victory."

Xu Wanzhi smiled: "The victory of the individual is the former, and the victory of the species is the latter."

Lin Jing: "Does this still need to be divided into individuals and species?"

Xu Wanzhi said lightly, "Yes. But in nature, species are generally superior to individuals, and so are people."

Lin Jing wondered: "People?" Why did it get involved in this?

Xu Wanzhi's eyes reflected overseas light and shadow, and he smiled: "Actually, what we have been taught all along is that collective interests are greater than individual interests."

Lin Jing was slightly taken aback.

From the last world, he could feel Xu Wanzhi's inexplicable indifference to certain things, and now he feels this way again.Extremely pure indifference, without any emotions, like the remarks made by spectators who are dissociated from the outside, such as the phrase "collective interests are greater than personal interests."

Lin Jing was really afraid that he might be an antisocial personality, so he asked, "It's true that I was taught that way, but it's just an idea buried in my heart, and I didn't force individuals to sacrifice. It's not too much. Also, were you particularly rebellious when you were young?"

Xu Wanzhi: "No, according to the standards of the world, I have been very good since childhood."

Lin Jing: "..." Are you a good boy? ?

There was a strange smile on the corner of Xu Wanzhi's lips, but his eyes were very serious, as if he really had doubts: "Then if it is forced personal sacrifice, is it too much?"

Lin Jing was stunned, and said, "That's too much."

Xu Wanzhi said softly, "Is that so?"

Lin Jing put down the camera, sat down cross-legged, and carefully considered: "However, this kind of thing should be considered on a case-by-case basis. After all, everyone has a different perspective."

Xu Wanzhi smiled, stared at him seriously, and explained instead: "You don't have to worry, I quite agree with this sentence."

Lin Jing swallowed the words silently.You really don't seem to agree with it, but.......It seems that you really don't mean to object.

Xu Wanzhi said: "Sacrificing the interests of a very small number of people in pursuit of human strength is quite cost-effective from many perspectives. But comparing this to a transaction, there is always risk."

Lin Jing didn't even need to think about it, there must be some bad memories behind Xu Wanzhi's words, but their current relationship was at best half-baked friends, and he chose to keep his mouth shut.

Maybe it was because the night in the deep sea was too quiet, Xu Wanzhi continued: "I heard this sentence for the first time when I was seven years old, from a middle-aged man who was furious. An excuse to shirk responsibility at risk."

After a pause, he smiled again: "But when I was seven years old, I didn't believe in anything, and I wasn't interested in anything. It's normal to have such thoughts."

Lin Jing asked, "What happened later?"

Xu Wanzhi: "Then I changed my mind."

Through the sea water and the faint light, Lin Jing looked at him quietly.

The moment they looked at each other, Xu Wanzhi's smile faded, and his eyes were dark and deep, as thin and cold as frozen ground.

Lin Jing has been living on Planet Aquamarine since he could remember.

On that peaceful and leisurely planet that is like spring all the year round, the years seem to be accompanied by gentle winds, and it is impossible to feel the occasional loneliness of Xu Wanzhi.

After a pause, Lin Jing said, "Maybe you didn't think wrong when you were seven years old, and that was really his excuse."

Xu Wan was taken aback: "En?"

Lin Jing said: "No one is obliged to sacrifice, and no one is qualified to force a person to be great."

Xu Wanzhi smiled: "Maybe."

I don't know how many millions of years have passed outside.

When gamma rays hit the earth, Lin Jing still felt that force.The mass extinction of 80.00% of the five creatures at the end of the Ordovician is a fear that can be felt from the data alone.

Even in this deep, deep seabed, one can still feel the terror and despair of all things.

Any evolution comes to an abrupt end.

The lack of oxygen in sea water, global cooling, crustal movement, volcanic eruptions, and the clean and transparent underwater world are filled with smoke, dust, and poisonous gases. It comes from the end of the universe, which has turned the world into chaos.

Everything you can see is chaos.

Lin Jing watched the earth-shaking changes outside the cave with his own eyes, and was slightly dazed.

There have been five mass extinctions in the history of the earth, and the most well-known one should be the extinction of dinosaurs in the late Cretaceous period.

4.4 million years ago, 3.65 million years ago, 2.5 million years ago, 2 million years ago, 6500 million years ago.

So when is the next mass extinction?

Human beings are really as small as dust. Even if we have stepped out of the earth now, there is a solar system. Outside the solar system is the Milky Way. Any violent meteor shower or the explosion of a certain planet may destroy the Milky Way.

Lin Jing rubbed his face, put aside the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, he raised his camera, sat in a cave in the deep sea, and took pictures of the scene outside.

After the filming, he was also a little sleepy. After walking so many steps during the day, he was already very tired. He was just too nervous just now. Now that he has settled down, the fatigue floods up like a tide, and his eyelids are fighting.

Lin Jing turned his head to look at Xu Wanzhi again, he had already closed his eyes, covered by eyelashes, quiet and indifferent.

Suddenly, he remembered Xu Wanzhi's casual mention of his childhood. "I don't believe in anything, I'm not interested in anything." Lin Jing didn't know why, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately imagined Xu Wanzhi's childhood appearance.

Should be really "good", or withdrawn, don't like to talk, don't like to laugh, indifferent, the most common thing is to sit quietly in a corner in a daze?

Lin Jing was amused by himself.

He put the camera on the photo album, leaned against the rock, and closed his eyes.

When you wake up, the period of ruins after the mass extinction has passed.

At least, when Lin Jing opened his eyes, what he saw was the colorful underwater world again.

Various jellyfish swim in the deep sea, and new species also appear.

Lin Jing rubbed his eyes: "Has this reached the Silurian period?" Xu Wanzhi: "Well, let's go." Lin Jing tidied up his things, a little confused: "We won't ride on the jellyfish again, right?" Xu Wanzhi smiled: "Then we climb up?"

Lin Jing: "..." No, sitting on jellyfish is pretty good. After hearing Xu Wanzhi talk about jellyfish last time, he was full of awe for this creature.

It is completely a ghost who is free from the world, out of the time of life and death.

This time they caught a blue jellyfish.

When you dive into the deep sea, you just encounter the passage of time, and when you fall, you feel the tension of traveling through millions of years.Now from the deep sea to the top, it becomes extremely slow, watching the sky light fall inch by inch.

The plants on the seabed have not changed throughout the Paleozoic Era.

The Silurian and Devonian periods can be regarded as the age of fish. On this page of the illustrated book, the species of armored fish accounted for almost half of the page.

The upper body is like a rock, with a tail on the second half. It looks like a monster. It eats plankton in the sea without any contention. When it encounters natural enemies, it shrinks into the sand and treats itself as a rock.

Lin Jing: "Is this the ancestor of vertebrates?"

With countless sighs in his heart, he silently took pictures of his ancestors.

After coming from the deep sea, [-] million years later, the environment is naturally different from when they went down.

Lin Jing started looking for something to eat for himself, and first set his target on his ancestors.Let alone other things, fish may still be eaten.

Xu Wanzhi smiled and said, "Don't, you really plan to eat something from the bottom of the sea?"

Lin Jing: "Huh?"

"Paleozoic animals may have toxic proteins, and you may be out of the game if you eat them."
