After the other party finished speaking, there was no more sound.
The virtual world in front of Chen Feng changed again, turning into a familiar yet unfamiliar environment.
In the deep dark universe, the blue planet is slowly orbiting the sun in space.
This is exactly Earth.
The field of view quickly zooms in.
After blinking, the scene in front of Chen Feng turned into a primeval forest.
There is a group of ancient apes in the forest building wooden houses around a giant tree.
This is a very large group, at least three hundred.
The tribe seems to have just migrated here from a distant place and needs to build a new home as soon as possible.
The place looked busy and lively.
There are ancient apes that are dragging wood back from a distance, and there are also ancient apes sitting cross-legged on the ground, sharpening the wooden sticks in their hands, trying to sharpen the sticks.
There are also some female ancient apes who are holding their own children and feeding them while they are naked.
In addition to these young adults and infants, in the center of the forest plain occupied by the group, there is also a group of elderly people who are obviously out of tune with other ancient apes.
They were reunited together, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes lowering their heads to figure things out, and sometimes reluctantly using different-sounding pronunciations to exchange information with each other.
Compared with the busyness of young adults, the elderly seem too leisurely and lazy.
This is simply excessive.
But in fact, what really distinguishes humans from other animals is not walking upright or learning to use tools.
Monkeys can also use stones to smash walnuts and use sticks to pry stones.
But why monkeys have always been monkeys, and ancient apes eventually turned into humans? The fundamental reason is that as humans advance, they gradually realize the value of knowledge and begin to value the experience accumulated by the elderly throughout their lives. They are no longer simply
The value of each individual to the group is judged by whether he or she is physically strong.
In ancient times when the external environment was harsh, being able to live longer than other ancient apes was not just a matter of good luck.
Elderly people are usually outstanding when they are young. They have physical advantages, and their brains and reactions are far ahead of their peers.
For example, a group of ancient apes are being chased by tigers.
The one who runs fast survives.
Those who responded promptly, knew how to stagger the tiger's pursuit route, and changed directions to climb a tree that the tiger could not climb, also survived.
Those who fell down while escaping, those who ran last and were overtaken, were eliminated when they were young or young.
In the age of ancient apes with an average lifespan of only ten years, every ancient ape that lived to be twenty years old had its own unique features.
It takes time for a civilization to enrich its knowledge.
Group knowledge does not arise out of thin air. Most of the accumulated knowledge comes from the elderly.
When food is sufficient, the life itself of the elderly is precious wealth.
The group of elderly people Chen Feng saw now represented this ethnic group's language, writing, philosophy of survival and other important information related to the process of civilization, which was being enriched at an extremely fast speed.
Suddenly, one of the old men, whose beard and hair were all dry, and who was as thin as a gaunt man, suddenly stood up.
He raised his head and stared at the sky, his brows furrowed and his hair standing on end.
The sky was blue and white with white clouds, and the scorching sun was high. It didn't look out of the ordinary.
The tall ape in front who was responsible for carrying wood and instructing other apes to build sheds quickly walked over upon seeing this, and chirped for a long time in a slightly nervous and respectful tone.
The old man ignored him and continued to observe the sky.
After a long time, the old man finally responded and chirped.
The tall ape suddenly showed a look of horror on his face, and immediately ran and shouted all the way in the group station.
Many ancient apes stopped building sheds and gathered together instead.
The tall ape asked the old ape to stand on a high and rugged rock.
The old ape spoke something very fast to other members of the group.
Some ancient apes understood it, and some ancient apes didn't quite understand what it meant. It wasn't until the people around them danced with it for a long time that they finally understood it.
Then the group of ancient apes immediately became busy, each packed up their portable tools and stored food and headed straight to the mountains in the distance.
As for the half-built shacks and camps, they gave up without hesitation.
About three hours later, the ancient ape tribe arrived at the mountainside of the mountain.
This mountain is the highest mountain within a hundred miles nearby, and due to the constant rain and wind, most of the parts of the mountain are made of rocks.
There is a huge naturally formed cave on the mountainside.
But there is a den of bears living in the cave.
The ancient ape tribe has known about the existence of caves and bears since a long time ago, but they have always avoided each other.
But this time, the young and middle-aged men of the ancient ape tribe launched a fierce and death-defying attack on the bear nest with stones and sharpened sticks.
There are one male and one female in this den of bears, both of which are very large. The male bear is nearly three and a half meters tall when standing upright, and the female bear is over two meters tall.
There are also three little bears that can rival adult apes when they stand upright.
The other side is not a soft persimmon, and this war obviously cannot end quickly.
When the fighting between the two sides lasted for ten minutes, the sky suddenly changed dramatically, with dark clouds covering the area and thunder and lightning.
At first, big raindrops fell one by one. After just a few minutes, the raindrops became extremely dense, pattering on the soil and rocks, as if pouring from a tap.
In the heavy rain, the warriors of the ancient ape tribe were still charging one after another.
Nearly a hundred meters away from the battlefield, at the bottom of the mountainside, the old, weak, women and children stood in the heavy rain and looked at the battlefield from afar, all of them looked anxious, and even some underage children eagerly tried to step forward to help, but were killed by the adults.
Hold on tight.
The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly an hour.
After losing a total of nearly thirty young adults, the ancient ape tribe finally killed the male bear and the female bear.
Two adult giant bears fell to the ground, their bodies covered in scars, especially their facial features, which were beyond recognition.
One of the three cubs also lost his breath. The other two cubs seemed to be breathing briefly, but several sharp wooden spears were also pierced into their mouths. It is expected that they will die soon.
There were more young and strong ancient apes lying on the mountainside, all of them with missing limbs and miserable faces.
The bright red blood flowed down the mountain under the wash of rain, turning into a stream of red blood. It was unknown whether it was the blood of an ancient ape or a bear.
The old, weak, women, children, monks, and young and middle-aged people who were still able to move began to step towards the cave step by step through the bloody water.
Along the way, the ancient apes wiped away their tears and kept picking up the broken wooden spears that fell from the ground, as well as the stone knives that were broken into two pieces.
Some people struggled to hold the bodies of their fallen companions and tried to drag them into the cave, but were stopped by other apes with slaps.
The heavy rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. The visibility of human eyes is less than two meters, and there is no sound in the ears. It seems that there is only the sound of heavy rain in the sky and the earth.
Chen Feng watched this scene quietly the whole time, not knowing what to say.
He has imagined countless times how human ancestors struggled to survive in nature, and he has also seen countless film and television works describing these.
But there is no doubt that the picture shown to him by the fish star people is not a hypothesis, but it allows Chen Feng's consciousness to truly return to millions of years ago, and witness with his own eyes this seemingly small period in the long history of mankind, but in fact it is thrilling.
history.
Chen Feng has not only seen it with his own eyes, but has also personally participated in countless cosmic-level wars.
But inexplicably, he felt a strong sense of tragedy from this primitive, ancient, simple fight with wooden spears, stones and sharp claws.
The fish star people have truly participated in the process of human civilization, and they will not be aimless.
Therefore, this group of ancient ape tribe is undoubtedly the true ancestor of human beings.
There are many tribes of ancient apes, but this group is the only one that finally evolved into humans.
Other ancient ape tribes either took the wrong path on the road of evolution, or unfortunately perished in some disaster.
Severe drought, floods, changes in the earth's veins, hungry wolves...
Every disaster may destroy the bud of human civilization.
Chen Feng could probably guess what happened next.
This heavy rain will last for a long time.
The earth will turn into water.
Soil landforms and vegetation conditions will be drastically changed.
The diversity of life on earth will also change dramatically.
But this group of ancient ape tribes who reacted in time and successfully climbed to the heights finally persisted, and after millions of years of development, Chen Feng and Orion-armed humans finally appeared.
Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder, maybe when humans tens of millions of years later look back on the war between the Morrowind Empire and the Compound Eyes on Earth and the Milky Way, whether humans today will still be these ancient apes wielding wooden spears in the minds of future generations.
Are those with compound eyes just "fragile" giant bears?
Will future generations also have the same sense of vicissitudes as watching their ancestors millions of years ago charge resolutely with spears in the face of disaster?
How will future generations imagine it?
Chen Feng was thinking again about how lucky human beings are.
If the old man's reaction is half a beat slower.
If the tall ape, who is obviously the leader, doesn't believe in the old man's judgment.
If those warriors who sacrificed their lives generously were a little weak and retreated, they would eventually exhaust all their fighting power and fail to kill the giant bear.
If any of the above situations happen, then humanity will have no choice.
Chen Feng watched all the ancient apes staggering into the cave.
He took a deep breath and bent slightly.
In any case, as a warrior of the Galactic Era, he wanted to express his sincere respect to these warriors in ancient times who also saved the fate of human civilization.
Maybe they can't even speak, don't understand any language, or even know what the so-called respect means.
Perhaps they only know that when their tribe is in need, they must step forward with fragile wooden spears, even if they are faced with a giant bear that can turn them into pulp with just one slap.
They could never imagine that future generations could wear armor and destroy the world.
They looked so fragile, but the great courage they showed during the charge turned the tide.
Afterwards, several ancient apes climbed out again, tied the bodies of five giant bears with rattan, and slowly dragged them into the cave.
The heavy rain keeps falling.
I don’t know why nature has gone crazy.
This heavy rain lasted for a whole month.
In this month, the outside world has been flooded with changes.
On the seventh day, the elderly man who was the first to point out that the disaster was coming walked out of the cave with a high temperature of 41 degrees Celsius and walked into the heavy rain.
He had had a high fever for seven days, and he knew he was going to die.
Two hours later, he dragged the floating corpses of the two rabbits and swam back out of the cave.
This place was originally plains and mountains, but now it has become an isolated island in the ocean.
The earthen hills in the distance have collapsed, and only this rocky mountain is still standing within a few dozen miles nearby.
The old man put the rabbit at the entrance of the hole and walked further away.
After walking a few dozen meters down the mountain, he fell on his back.
He fell in the rain and never got up, and was eventually swallowed by the rising water level and swept away again.
In this month, the ancient apes in the cave ate up the food reserves, the bears, and everything else they could find on the mountain.
More and more young adults and old people are walking out of the cave.
Some ancient apes came back, either with empty hands or carrying something, even a tree root.
Some ancient apes failed to come back and no one knows where they fell.
The original number of nearly 300 ancient apes has dropped sharply to more than 130 in this month, more than 80 of which are underage.
Chen Feng looked at the sky anxiously.
He didn't know when the rain would stop.
If this continues, human ancestors will disappear in the long river of history.
