Every day is one step closer to reality

To 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 organize materials and some data, they have not left for the time being, and they need to stay here for a while.

However, in addition to the mission, Captain Wen will also pay attention to the protection stations and monitoring stations located throughout the mountains, asking them to pay attention to whether there is any trace of a young expert.

However, apart from the first day I saw Feng Yi's figure, I didn't see him again after that.

They only knew that Feng Yi entered the deep mountains, an area where there was no surveillance system. It’s less traveled and more dangerous.

After that, Feng Yi had no contact with anyone outside.

"That kid doesn't know what he is doing now."

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

"Check out the real-time weather observation data."

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

It's not from the deep mountains, but from the ground and aerial pictures sent by several protection stations and monitoring stations in the mountains that can be connected to the Internet.

"It's foggy again in the south."

"Huh? No, it's the same in the north! It's going to rain extensively!"

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

People living in remote mountains must face many inconveniences due to such climate conditions.

He was worried about Feng Yi's safety.

In the mountains, there are many local microclimates. But the current situation is that clouds and fog are changing over a large area in the mountainous area, covering the north and south of the mountain range. This is not good for people in the mountains.

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

As the warm and moist airflow from the south climbs along the mountains, it encounters the obstruction of cold air from the north, creating a scene of clouds and mist in the south and clear skies in the north.

From a high altitude, you can clearly see the spectacular sea of ​​clouds blocked to the south.

The natural wonders caused by the climate contrast between the north and south of the mountain range are extremely attractive to many foreign tourists.

Therefore, many people now see the fog trend in the south and want to find a suitable place to take aerial photography.

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

Whether it's the south or the north of the mountains, they are all shrouded in clouds and mist.

At this time, the north side of the mountains.

On the highway across the mountains, there are service stations on some sections where pedestrians and recreational groups are active.

They were looking at the weather forecast that they suddenly received on their mobile phones and were wondering.

"This... the warm and moist airflow from the south continues to push northward after crossing the mountains and ridges?"

"No matter what the reason is, the weather is bound to change. We need to find a place to take shelter from the rain as soon as possible."

"It would be nice to have some rain. Compared with usual, there is too little rainfall in the north this year."

"There were rumors at the beginning of the year that there might be a severe drought, and no one noticed that the ground was dry."

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

The locals were talking and the tourists were laughing and chatting.

No matter whether they were tourists or locals, they didn't take this sudden weather change seriously.

The climate in the mountains is already changeable, how rare can it be?

It’s just that traveling is a bit troublesome.

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

A local man sitting next to him heard this and said: "Danger! It's very dangerous! Don't run anywhere except the planned tourist routes. How many people have gone in but never come out. All the animals in the mountains have fallen to death, not to mention people. , when I was a child, the control here was not so strict. My uncle took me into the mountains and only paid attention to my feet. I was almost killed by the falling rocks from above!

"Moreover, while I was walking, a dark cloud came over me, and the rain poured down on me! These were all okay, but many of those who encountered sudden low temperatures were unable to come out. Hey, there is no way to prevent it!"

Many outsiders have no idea about these things. They just listen to stories and have no sense of involvement if they have never encountered them.

However, the next moment, I heard the old man say: "There are also poisonous snakes. That snake called cauliflower is very poisonous!"

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

Uncle: "No! It's just a venomous snake! It looks fancy and has a triangular head! You'll mostly find it in the south, but we rarely see it in the north... I can't say for sure. After all, there's no absolute in things in the mountains. It's probably somewhere. There is a big snake hidden in which cave!"

In the mountains, within a certain high mountain.

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

There was also silence.

Even the airflow coming in from the hidden vents was almost silent.

However, from time to time, you can hear a little buzzing sound in the cave, as if something heavy is moving slightly on the ground.

Feng Yi coiled there and fell into a deep sleep.

In other words, he was already in a dream at this moment.

Due to what I saw in my dream, my tail moved slightly. Just like when a person kicks his feet in a dream, he doesn't feel it when he's asleep, but he does have a reaction.

If you monitor your heart rate, Feng Yi's heartbeat is much faster than usual at this moment.

He was not in a resting state, his mood was fluctuating violently, and he was not calm at all.

Feng Yi was dreaming.

Just like what he was thinking before falling asleep, it can also be regarded as a form of "ancestral dreams".

Still an immersive experience.

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

The air also seemed warmer and wetter than it is now.

There are towering trees and dense grass all around, and 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 full of dangers.

A team of five people approached from a distance, walking...or should I say, crawling?

Like Feng Yi's original form, their upper bodies are human-shaped and their lower bodies have long, snake-like tails.

His posture was casual and leisurely, completely ignoring the murderous intent hidden in the mountain.

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

Having had experiences on small islands in the sea, Feng Yi did not think that these were just figments of his imagination.

He is quite clear-headed now.

These should be memories unlocked in the DNA, but it was Feng Yi himself who entered them, not the recorder.

What an amazing way to remember.

It's just that this kind of memory cannot clearly record all the details like a camera. As the genetic material is passed down for tens of millions of years, what is left is only a vague image, but it can give you an idea of ​​what it is doing.

Feng Yi looked at them.

They have existed in this world.

It does not only exist in the paintings and utensils of ancient people.

Really, live 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.

This means that throughout his life, he will not have any companions of his own race.

There are some things that you can only keep to yourself.

Some secrets can only be kept by oneself.

Even if there are people you trust around you, even if you have blood relatives, it is still different after all.

Feng Yi stayed some distance away, watching them play wantonly 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 from the broken and cracked scenes of the huge trees and hard rocks.

Don't worry about losing your strength and slapping the opponent flat.

Don't worry about your friends around you not being able to bear your weight.

Can play wildly.

Maybe two young guys were fighting, but after a while, the older one came over, picked up one and threw it away, then rolled up the tail and smashed the other one to the ground.

Wood splinters and grass flies, the earth 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 traveling through thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, maybe even longer.

With envy and yearning.

As 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 were filled with a bit of bitterness and complexity.

"Ancestors, how strong they are!"

Feng Yi moved his tail, standing up a little more, like standing on tiptoes in human form, to make himself taller.

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

Even when Feng Yi stood on tiptoe, he couldn't even touch the opponent's shoulder. What a huge difference!

Just like an ordinary person, facing the top centers on the professional basketball court.

There are obvious differences in body shape, physique, and all aspects, even with high myopia!

Feng Yi stood in front of the opponent, as if he was 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 larvae.

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

Sure enough, different periods of life lead to different levels of growth and development.

The genetic level is different.

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

This difference, such a striking contrast, is like——

The seemingly strong anaconda faces the Titan anaconda from 60 million years ago!

This visual impact...

It was also quite a shock.

Compared with his ancestors, Feng Yi was indeed a good cook.

But who makes the living environment different?

There is nothing to be embarrassed about if you are not as good as your ancestors.

The air we breathe and the energy resources we enjoy are all 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 period, the genes are not overly inhibiting growth.

Now, special growth-inhibiting genes become active. The forest anaconda does not grow to the size of the titan anaconda.

The same goes for Feng Yi.

The 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 gene that inhibits growth makes his growth slower and more limited.

If those necessary energy substances are regarded as the "food" necessary for survival, with this amount of material now, Feng Yi will not live as long as his ancestors.

Our ancestors were in a time when materials were abundant, and they could eat one bowl, throw another bowl away, and play with one bowl after another.

And Feng Yi?

Feng Yi was in a period of famine. If he was full today, he might not be able to have "food" tomorrow.

Can this be compared?

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

Feng Yi compared with them——

To put it mildly, he looks more polite.

To put it bluntly: stunted and too dull.
