my stealth fighter

For a moment, everyone who had finished their meal was silent. After all, the conclusion of the principal was really unexpected, even more surprising than Zixuan's conclusion that the calf's death was due to allergies rather than poisoning. Before that, they either I have not considered this issue, or, like the dean, I think that the collective wisdom of the floating lanterns gave some preferential treatment to the ape tribe because they were too lonely, but if you think about it carefully, why?Just those uncivilized primitive people?Although it is said that apes have larger brains than Homo sapiens and are therefore smarter, after all, they are losers in competition, even to the point of being driven out of existence. In a universe where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong, it is even harder for losers to win sympathy.

"Well, this is the information I got from Fu Su. After thinking about it carefully, I think it is very possible. Although it may not be 100% truth, and it may be overturned by new discoveries one day in the future, but at least The rock paintings and sacrificial artifacts I have found so far are consistent with them." The dean of the college concluded with a very scientific speech.

It's hard for everyone not to look at the ape girl with complicated eyes. Unfortunately, as a saint, she is destined to be sacrificed. She has been isolated in the cave since she was a child. I'm afraid she doesn't know so many truths. And she didn't even understand the dean's words. The dean's explanation used too many unusual words.

"The general situation is like this. In short, that guy successfully passed through the 'passage' with the tribe to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Homo sapiens, and thrived on this planet." The college president said, although the actual situation is definitely more complicated than such an understatement. Much more, but after all, only limited speculation can be obtained from physical evidence.

The dean said it was "anecdote", but the amount of information was still a bit large and everyone needed some time to digest it.

"Huh~ As expected of the dean, it's a wonderful narrative." Zixuan's eyes flashed, "Having said that, I also thought of one thing."

Everyone's attention turned to Zixuan again.

"In the past few days since I came to Noah, I have been reading the part about plant breeding in the e-book brought by Sister Eve, reading some classic works, and trying to conduct some preliminary research on the plant ecology of Noah. , Of course, it is limited to the plants that I can come into contact with in the area around the base." She said and glared at Jiang Chanji, as if to say; I am not a freeloader like Mio.

"We don't exclude lower plants like moss or algae. We only count higher plants with stems and leaves. Within the range that I can access, they are all hermaphroditic without exception." Zixuan The wording is also very precise. It seems that the speed at which she progressed from beginner to proficient in botany is unmatched. In fact, after she came to Noah, she spent most of her time reading a book with a tablet in hand, scrolling through pages as fast as she could. Fast.

Although what Zixuan said and what the dean said are actually two completely different things, one is a native plant and the other is an exotic higher animal. The gap between plants and animals is greater than that between humans and plankton. The gap between them is still huge, but bringing it up at this time gives people the illusion that "maybe there is some connection" and makes many people feel in awe of the power of nature and destiny.

"Hey! The atmosphere doesn't have to be so serious, right? You've even lost your appetite! Anyway, apes and other things have been extinct for thousands of years, and plants don't eat humans!" Since Yuna had to participate in the search during the day, she had to check on the little ones after she came back. The conditions of the calves were supplemented with forage, the manure was cleaned, etc. The meal time was later than the others. They haven't finished eating yet, but they were no longer in the mood to eat.

The dean of the college corrected: "Except for Yuan Yuan, but generally speaking, it's true. Everyone can just listen to it as an anecdote. Don't think too much." Youna herself was complaining about her lack of appetite just now, but now she asked: "By the way, , are ape-men really extinct? I always feel that these guys are... hard to describe."

What she wanted to say was that these guys were "dirty", but she changed the word out of concern for the ape girl's feelings, because if what the dean said was consistent with the facts, then the only guy who could breed offspring at that time, in order to continue their Because of her race, she must have done a lot of things that were against modern ethics, which made her feel a little disgusted. This was the real reason why she couldn't eat.

In fact, even if she said it directly, it would not hurt the ape girl's feelings. For thousands or even thousands of years, her feelings for her tribe have long been indifferent.

"According to the description of the unfinished mural and Yuan Yuan's witness, this ape-man tribe abandoned this place when the ice age came in the past. Some of the old and weak people stayed behind, or left to wait for death, and some of the strong young people were left in batches. Head to the south to find a warm enough shelter. We don’t know where they finally arrived, but Chan Ji found some stone axes and other tools in the southern area before." The dean of the college said, and Jiang Chanji nodded to confirm her statement. , most people know these things, mainly explaining them to the pastor and Zixuan.

The area and continent they are in is at a higher latitude on Noah's planet. The advantage is that it is cool in the summer and they need to cover themselves with quilts at night. The disadvantage is that they need to cover themselves with more quilts in the winter. Because of this, they need to A second base was opened in the south to grow rice. Such an environment can be overcome by modern humans, but the primitive people encountered an ice age again... It is really difficult to withstand it. Even for them, if the ice age comes again, I am afraid they will have to go south. To move, we cannot go against nature.

The dean of the college continued: "So we tend to think that they have become extinct. Although there is no direct evidence, the indirect evidence is that if they have not become extinct, they have not established themselves on the surface of the planet in these thousands of years. It would be too low to build any eye-catching landmark buildings... Although we have not yet searched every inch of the planet, if there are large-scale man-made ruins, we will not miss them. Unfortunately, there are not. , it can only be said that the living environment on this planet is too harsh for them.”

Zixuan commented: "It's a pity. If they had lived until now...ah, I mean, if they had reproduced normally until now, they could be regarded as living fossils. I really want to see if they will take the same path as Homo sapiens. Different evolutionary routes.”

"No, no, it's better to be extinct. It's not a pity at all!" Yuna said with a thorn in her back, "I still hope that we are the only ones who can speak on this planet."

The pastor of the dean listened to their discussion with her eyebrows furrowed. She was thinking about whether to regard those ape-men as God's people. If so, on what day did God create them?
