Age of Behemoths

Both cubs recovered very well, and at night, the one that was in better condition was able to stand up by itself and run around the brother.But obviously it is still in the stage of recognizing life, looking at those unfamiliar big and small, sometimes it will make a low-pitched but full of demonstrative growls - or for its volume, the growl is a bit exaggerated.

Although the other one couldn't stand up yet, it was able to wave its little paw twice to show support and intimacy when the brother ran past.

The two of them will only become docile when Shen Yifei and Teddy get close.

"I've taken care of you too, but you're still grinning at me." Xiao Su squatted next to the cubs, trying to touch them, but in the end she was almost bitten, so she squatted there and muttered depressedly.

"Xiao Su, go to sleep." Shen Yi flew over and patted Xiao Su's shoulder.

"Not sleepy." Xiao Su tilted her head to look at Shen Yifei, and immediately turned her head to look at Little Bear.

Shen Yifei didn't try to persuade him anymore, anyway, there is no problem with going to work or school now, and hunting is also a very dangerous thing in the near future, so it's okay to go to bed late and go to bed early.

Sitting back beside the bonfire, Shen Yifei started talking to Qin Jixun again in a low voice.

The two of them talked about the insect corpses they encountered. They said that no matter how mutated the mutants were, they still kept their human appearance, but the insect corpses... From the day when the world changed suddenly until now, it has been a short but painful experience. After another long time of transformation, these guys have become unrecognizable.

They are beasts, reptiles, the walking dead, but certainly never again.

Shen Yifei has encountered three so far, and Qin Jixun has encountered more in this period of time.They don't have a unified ability and appearance, and if you want to kill them, you can only rely on the temporary reaction ability during the battle, plus a little luck.As for luck, Shen Yifei has never lacked it.

"I feel that these things are the natural enemies of human beings." Qin Jixun sighed, shaking his head and smiling wryly.

"Indeed... Maybe it should be said that people in the past took too much from nature, so now nature is furious. Although it gave us a way out, it also hung a chain around people's necks." Shen Yifei fiddled twice Bonfire, "There is a debt owed by the predecessors, let our generation repay it together."

"No, rather than repaying, it's better to say that the privilege is taken back." Qin Jixun seemed to think of something suddenly, and said with a frown.

"privilege?"

"Because people in the past almost had no natural enemies."

"It seems... indeed..." Human beings are no match for the fangs and claws of wild beasts, but the weapons made by human beings can kill hundreds of thousands or millions, including any wild beasts, together with their own kind overnight.Although some people have said that bacteria and diseases are the natural enemies of human beings, what makes those bacteria and diseases more and more ferocious is not so much natural evolution as human beings themselves.

Now, the appearance of insect corpses seems to have taken back the primate privilege of all human beings. On top of human beings, the upper level of the food chain also appeared.

"But..." There was a crackle in the fire, which made Shen Yifei's voice a little fuzzy.

"what?"

"What are the natural enemies of insect corpses?"

"Mutant? No." Qin Jixun replied, but he quickly shook his head. It is true that mutants are also very strong, but compared with insect corpses, they have no obvious advantages, and even have a big disadvantage. , that is... there are too few mutants.

Only one out of ten infected people is a mutant, and not all mutants have the fighting type of Shen Yifei and Qin Ji.The others, like Xiao Su and Sun Heng, are completely auxiliary mutants.

Xiao Su can survive in the harsh environment, relying on his special ability of smell, but he can still get the smell after getting along with other people for a long time. As for him, he has no smell before, it should be because of his special This is a way to save others' lives, and Shen Yifei will not talk too much about it.

It should be considered that Sun Heng, who is somewhat similar to Qin Jixun in some parts of his ability, has a greater weakness, because his five senses are too strong, so he is more sensitive to changes in the outside world.To ordinary people, it has a pungent smell, but it is a disaster to him. To ordinary people, the slightly cold weather makes him feel that his bones are frozen.I have seen him many times, and Shen Yifei admires him very much. Up to now, he has not gone crazy because of this kind of stimulation, but has adapted to it bit by bit. This is also a strong person.

"Maybe we shouldn't be looking for the natural enemies of insect corpses, but parasites." A sentence came out of Shen Yifei's mouth. When he heard this sentence, he even froze.When he reacted, his first move was to take out the herbs that had been cleaned and bundled into a small bundle.

No way?

Both of them stared at the small bundle of herbs in a daze.

"Hehehe..." Shen Yifei smiled dryly, "It won't be that easy, just find out the natural enemy, right?"

"But... what if it's 'yes'?"

The power of insect corpses lies in that even if they cannot reproduce, as long as humans can reproduce, they can infect without limit.Even if one day only mutants are left alive in the world, who knows whether the offspring of mutants will be immune to that parasite?

Even when the time comes, the parasite will mutate enough to be able to infect mutants, it's not impossible.

But if there is really a medicine that can cure people, then from a certain point of view, people can be bitten by those insect corpses without fear.After that, those who fell into a deep sleep were mutants, and those who woke up took medicine immediately.Then the strength and weakness between human beings and insect corpses will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes!

The two looked at each other, hoping that this herbal medicine would also be effective against the parasites that produced the corpses, but they really didn't believe that their luck could be so good.

Besides... this herbal medicine can treat parasites in the digestive tract, but the parasites in the corpse are in the brain, one facing up and the other facing down, does it really work?

It worked or it didn't work, try it - they saw this message in each other's eyes almost at the same time.

You can't just give up because of doubts. What if it really works?But don't be overly optimistic and self-righteous. If it's useless, it's not just as simple as empty joy, causing others to have a wrong understanding, and the result is often very bad.

Shen Yifei took a deep breath: "It's okay, even if it's not, we have found a good insect repellent."

Qin Jixun looked at him, and smiled after being slightly taken aback: "Indeed, we shouldn't be so worried about gains and losses. No matter how bad the situation is, we will eventually gain something."

"Ahem!" There was a coughing sound from the other side, and Xiao Su looked at Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun with the eyes of "I really can't help the adults", "If I continue to look at it like this, I feel like I'm going to lose my eyes gone."

"Uh..." The two of them actually didn't do any restricted-level anger, they didn't even shake hands, but after hearing what Xiao Su said, they couldn't help but blushed at the same time, but the discomfort was only for a short moment , after all, both of them have more urgent matters to deal with.

"Xiao Su, can you take me with you when you go back to the camp?" Qin Jixun asked directly.

"Why did you go again and leave me alone?" Shen Yifei only opened his mouth a little later, but was preempted. He really couldn't help protesting.As for going to the human camp, he has no objection. On the one hand, he really wants to see it. On the other hand, whether the anthelmintic will work or not, he has to experiment with people infected with parasites.If you want to find this kind of person, of course, the best way is to find it from the human camp that has just been attacked by insect corpses.

"It's still the same reason as I left last time. I can't do without you here."

"I can't make up my mind about this kind of thing, but Sister Zhou said that she will pick me up when the time comes. When she comes, you can ask her. If Sister Zhou dies this time, Sun Heng will also come. If both of them If you die, there should be other people who are in charge. But... it is also possible that no one will come, then I can only eat you and drink you."

Xiao Su's words, the excited two people were immediately "cooled" back...

"Qin Jixun, come with me to write a letter to the white bear, introduce the two of you to each other, and see how we can cure the big white bear more easily." Shen Yifei hugged the livelier little bear into his arms After tossing and tossing for a long time, it was also tired. When Shen Yifei hugged it, it immediately curled up into a ball very honestly.

Another little bear also stretched out its little bear paw, waving it in mid-air, it seems that it also wants to hug.Shen Yifei bent down and rubbed the fur on its belly—the little belly was all flattened, which made the little bear even more pitiful.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to see your mother when you're better. Xiao Su, you..."

"I'm not going, let me help you, don't let the other little guys get too close to the little sick bear." Xiao Su crossed her legs and shook her hand at Shen Yifei, and she really didn't have the slightest intention to follow.

The young man became depressed again, which made Shen Yifei feel somewhat uncomfortable, after all he was indeed regarded as his younger brother.But in order for him not to misunderstand anything further, Shen Yifei still nodded, and simply walked into the cave behind with Qin Jixun.Once it was determined that the angle of the cave would make Xiao Su who was staying over there invisible, Shen Yifei immediately grabbed Qin Jixun's hand.

Qin Jixun struggled for a while, but he just said: "It's not a child." He let Shen Yifei hold him.

Shen Yifei smiled, now he is holding the little bear in one hand, and holding Shen Yifei in the other hand, it is very kind of... the warm feeling of a family walking to digest food after a meal...
