Encounter the Ice Age

People have always been wary of things that are not in their hands.

Yu Sheng: "In a sense, the power of the Sun Sutra was the first to be used."

Zhaoqing: "It seems right to say that, the slate has not been opened, but the golden surplus was distributed to the first superfluous owner as early as after the first shock wave."

Yu Sheng: "The other slates cover multiple directions and are related to all special beings and even our planet, while the Sun Scripture is related to our specialized life, and the scope is every individual life... At present, the Sun Scripture In a sense, it is more dangerous than the forbidden words of the natural gods. Fortunately, it is a growth slate, and unfortunately it is also this..."

Chen Jie: "Don't worry too much, second dad, didn't you say that? The Sun Scripture is the same as Hetu Luoshu, its holders will be the hosts of inverted cones of consciousness. From this perspective, its holders are at least Not a villainous person."

Yu Sheng: "I hope. After the third shock wave, all super-world props will be distributed, and after that, everyone's experience will be very different. People's hearts are changeable. Now I only hope that all the hosts with inverted consciousness will go well."

Chen Li: "With the protection of the conscious inverted cone, and the plant-like full-dimensional atoms and two memories, it will not be too bad. Well, I have to worry about other people."

"Let's eat first." Valentin said, taking a sip of Erguotou.

"Eat less wing roots! Eat more chicken! The wings are from before the apocalypse, and the chicken is from the thunderbird." Zhaoqing: "Yes, if there is particularly big news, there must be people talking loudly on the consciousness dimension Don't worry, second brother."

Yu Sheng: "That's all I can think of."

At noon, Zhaoqing took a nap for more than 20 minutes and then got up and sat at the dining table with Yu Sheng, wearing earphones and looking at the study materials. People passing by looked sideways, as if they were looking at some Western scenery, and looked at the family members who looked like two college students studying by themselves. .

On one side, Chen Yang did hundreds of push-ups, sweating all over his body, stretched out his muscles and bones, and was about to enter the small world to hit sandbags. When he passed by Zhaoqing, he used his hand to hit the small knot on Zhaoqing's head.

Zhaoqing held back a smile and lowered his head to continue writing. He ignored Chen Yang's harassment several times, but this time Chen Yang got even worse and even grabbed the small handle on top of his head and couldn't let go.

Zhaoqing took off the earphones: "Chen Yang!"

Chen Yang slapped his right hand with his left hand, then looked at his right hand and said seriously, "Hey, why are you so disobedient!"

Zhaoqing was teased and stretched out his hand to grab Chen Yang's big hand, bit it and scolded with a smile, "Roll!" He and Yu Sheng each had a small scratch on their heads that was pierced by Zhi Ni.

Chen Yang: "Why do you know how to grind your teeth with your hands like a wedding candy?"

"Huh?" Zhao Qing remembered something and pushed Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng also took off the earphones: "What?"

"By the way, the Xishan ancestral clouded leopard you mentioned last time, second brother, is it going to come out?" Zhao Qing said.

Yu Sheng: "Oh! Yes, what happened after this specialization? I saw that its size changed very quickly, and it is one of the few animals that continues to specialize after entering the small world."

Zhaoqing glanced at Xishan from his perspective and found the ancestral clouded leopard, and the clouded leopard seemed to feel his eyes looking around.

Zhaoqing: "Yes, it's a bit bigger. It's strange, why do some animals continue to specialize? But others don't?"

Yu Sheng: "Apart from this atavistic clouded leopard, are there other animals that continue to specialize?"

Zhaoqing: "The big snakes and big lizards in Xishan are also getting bigger, but they are not obviously returning to their ancestors, which is almost the same as before the end of the world. Now I can't tell. Oh, by the way, there is a litter of South China tiger cubs in Xiangshan. Cubs, one of them has grown so fast that it is now hunting and refusing to eat the meat I gave it."

Yu Sheng: "Understood, I'll write it down first. Did this happen to Bambi and Filin? They entered the small world very early and grew up in an instant after Laila. Now the whole body shape is still changing, and the horn is too much. It's getting bigger."

Valentin raised his head from various instruments and said, "Returning to the ancestors? It would be more appropriate to use adaptive specialization."

Zhao Qing: "Uh, yes. If they keep going back to their ancestors, then the pirates will probably become the moa Velociraptor or something like that."

Yu Sheng: "Adaptive specialization. This description is indeed more accurate. Take wedding candy as an example..."

"Miwu," Xitang walked over with big catwalks.

Yu Sheng rubbed Xitang's chin: "Take you as an example, I didn't call you... Since I'm here, I'll come up!" Hearing the sound, Xitang jumped onto the sofa. It is really a big domestic cat now, and its two tiger sons stopped immediately. Just go down and have fun, and Xitang will never get off the car until she gets off.

"Our Xitang's teeth have not continued to grow, and there are signs of shortening," Yu Sheng said, opening Xitang's mouth to look at Xitang's teeth, and then stroked Xitang's hind legs with his hands and said: "Its body We are also looking for a more suitable way to specialize one after another, but it is a pity that our Xitang's hind legs can't recover."

Zhaoqing: "I'm very satisfied with how it is now, pirates and pirates?"

The two big dogs in their family were originally named pirate toffee, and the name of toffee was always confused with other candies.It just so happens that the two big dogs are now the main fighting force of their family just like the big bird pirates, and they later changed their names to pirates and pirates.

Chen Li: "Squeezing to take a nap with the children."

Zhi Ni just got out from under the table and sat next to Yu Sheng, laid out the marshmallows and took out her picture book to look at.

Zhaoqing took out a few vegetable leaves, Marshmallow jumped over and picked them up with her front paws and stuffed them into her mouth.

"The specialization of human beings is more or less a reference. This animal seems to be returning to the ancestors from the appearance and the big picture, but to put it bluntly, it is completely irregular." Yu Sheng poked the rabbit's short tail with his finger and said: "Just like this rabbit, the ears that used to stand up are now drooping, and the size has not changed. It is still a rabbit in the palm, and there is no tendency to return to the ancestors or specialize."

Zhi Ni: "I think it's just right that it's so big."

Yu Sheng smiled: "Well, as long as you like it. The only thing that is certain now is that the newborn animals will maintain their unspecialized appearance before the end of the world, and then... they will become whatever have."

Zhaoqing: "Another point is that these animals that have already changed will not go back to the same way when they become adults. Although a small part is still slightly adjusted, it generally maintains the trend produced before the three shock waves."

Yu Sheng: "That's right. That's what it means."

Zhaoqing touched Xitang's back, and his fingers sank into Xitang's soft fur: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Zhi Ni leaned over.

"It's okay, Xitang's back seems to be a little knotted..." Zhaoqing Nicha touched it several times, and found two curly hairs on Xitang's shoulder blade: "Oh, it's not a knot... why there are still self-made rolls. "

Chen Yang: "Shave it?"

"Meow!~"

Yu Sheng: "It doesn't want to."

"Oh, son," Chen Yang picked up Daxitang across the table. Xitang now has a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, and his limbs are fully extended, which is longer than Zhaoqing.

Even so, this big happy candy can find a way to wrap itself in Chen Yang's arms. Now only Chen Yang, Chen Mo, and Valentin can hug it. The latter two can only touch it at most. Only Chen Yang can hug him without any problems. .

"Look at that coquettish look," Chen Li pinched Xitang's ears, and Xitang's ears became longer, pointed and bigger. It used to be a small triangle, but now it is a big triangle.

In Yu Sheng's words, Happy Candy no longer continues to specialize anywhere in the whole body, only the sense of hearing and smell is still getting stronger. In short, it is timid and hopes to know the changes outside at the first time.

The two big dogs may be the reason for running outside for a long time. The paws have become a lot bigger and the pads are extremely thick and strong.Needless to say, pirates are no different from a small fighter jet, perhaps their beak and claws were once broken, and now the beak and claw hooks are like titanium steel, and even a file can't grind them.

Chen Yang hugged the big cat and rubbed its chubby head, and asked, "What about the ancestral clouded leopard?" He always felt that they were short of having wild land animals as helpers.

Xitang's two tiger cubs are lively, tight, and aggressive. They are still growing up, but their stature is almost the same as that of the tigers before the end of the world, but they are still not enough.

After all, animals are still continuing to specialize. These two cubs are more than a little smaller than Xitang, so their adulthood is also much slower in comparison.

Yu Sheng: "I'll go in and communicate with it later, and try to negotiate conditions."

Chen Li: "The world is changing so fast, we have all started negotiating terms with the beasts."

"Otherwise?" Yu Sheng: "Since it wants to come out, it has to pay an equal price, there is no free lunch in the world."

Chen Jie: "Won't it leave when it comes out?"

Yu Sheng: "I feel that it is not ready to leave, but it is not ready to be completely subordinate to us. It's like being reluctant to give up food but wanting freedom. It's quite contradictory."

Chen Li: "Rice is really omnipotent."

Zhaoqing: "By the way, when you and brother go in, second brother, remember to ask brother to sweep it with the whip of dark matter. I always think this big cat is too smart, will it have a conscious island?"

Yu Sheng: "Huh? Oh, okay, okay, luckily you reminded me."

Zhaoqing: "OK."

After continuing on the road, Yu Sheng and Chen Mo found time to enter the small world, and they would be surprised if they didn't sweep it with the whip of dark matter.

Yu Sheng came out and told Zhaoqing that more than 20 kinds of animals and plants have appeared on the Consciousness Island, most of which are on the continuous outer mountains, and the number of animals and plants should be almost half divided.

The inner mountains refer to the mountains that were naturally formed in the small world, and the outer mountains refer to the mountains that were created by transplanting rescued animals and plants, such as Xishan and Guishan.

Not only the few specialized clouded leopards, big snakes and lizards that Zhaoqing has paid attention to by name; there are also specialized South China tigers that were born out of a litter and grew faster than other siblings; Bambi and Filin also appeared on the island of consciousness.

The big pine tree surrounded by Hetu Luoshu and the strangulated vines that were put in both appeared on the Consciousness Island. Because of the shock wave, Chen Moyu Sheng couldn't waste time inside, and didn't find out all the specialized animals and plants that first appeared on the Consciousness Island.

Because Chen Mo called the pirates back, and carefully stroked around all their small animals with the whip of dark matter in the car, Chen Mo found that the happy candy, the pirates, and the island of consciousness had already formed.

The two big dogs and the two little tigers have not yet appeared on the island of consciousness. To their surprise, a small island of consciousness also appeared around Zhi Ni's palm rabbit. Because the body is too small, Chen Mo identified it many times before confirming it.

Leaving aside other animals in the small world, the reactions of these stable island animals are completely different.For example, the specialized clouded leopard wanted to come out very much, but the specialized big snake didn’t want to bother me. It’s the same wherever I am. The specialized big lizard was still terribly dumbfounded when it was touched and walked on the stable island. It just wanted to sleep and not scream. its emotional.

What made them even more puzzled was that there were three kinds of potted plants with stable islands in their car? ?A pot of specialized mimosa, a pot of specialized three-leaf ghost needle grass, and a pot of Zhi Ni for playing with the planted carrot roots...

Zhaoqing touched Xitang's head and asked, "What's going on here?"

Yu Sheng tilted his head and dragged the pot of mimosa to his eyes, the tooth marks of the wedding candy still remained on it.As soon as his hand touched the branches and leaves of Mimosa, Mimosa shrank back, and Xitang also sat up from Zhaoqing's arms and watched Yu Sheng's movements.

Yu Sheng put the mimosa aside, took the carrot leaf and stretched out his hand to pull it out. The palm rabbit in Zhini's hood immediately jumped out to block the carrot.

Yu Sheng: "All the little animals in this car have communicated with me for so long, but you haven't. Why are you jumping out for a carrot leaf now?"

Chen Jie glanced at the path of the saber-toothed tiger, no problem, and moved over to see the western scenery. The pirate was still in the car because Chen Mo had just touched the island of consciousness.

Yu Sheng took out a pair of scissors and before he could move, his hands were in the air.

Seeing Yu Sheng staring at the pirate, Zhao Qing asked, "What's wrong? What did it say?"

Yu Sheng threw the scissors on the table and said, "It told me not to act."

"Pfft!" Chen Jie hurriedly covered his mouth, Yu Sheng is in a bad mood now, he doesn't want to be the focus of artillery fire.

Zhaoqing: "Pirates can have such complicated descriptions now?"

"What can't it do? It's not once or twice that we are idiots on weekdays. I don't bother to repeat it." Yu Sheng said and put those pots of plants together on the dining table. The grass is also fifty centimeters long, and the carrot leaves are about thirty centimeters long.

Yu Sheng: "What is this?"

Zhaoqing touched the leaves of the mimosa, then lowered his head and rubbed Xitang's head and asked, "Xitang, do you know what's going on?"

Yu Sheng: "Happy Candy only knows that the leaves are delicious, but nothing else. Pirates!"

The pirate put his head on the table and took a weed with a small flower in his mouth, and rolled it into his mouth after two bites, showing that he liked it too.

Zhaoqing: "A pirate is a golden eagle, a serious carnivore, it doesn't even eat fruit."

Yu Sheng: "It said this is its plant, let us not touch it."

"So serious." Zhaoqing touched the pirate's beak and said, "Pirate, since they are so important, is it safe to put them in the car? How about I plant a small world for you?"

Yu Sheng looked at the pirate.

Zhaoqing: "How does it say?"

Yu Sheng: "It doesn't know if this is okay, but it seems to hope that the plants are safe."

"If the animals and plants on Consciousness Island really appear in pairs, then..." Zhaoqing looked over the pirate and looked at the rear of the car and said: "It should be no problem, there is no name there, and its companion plants must be in the small world."

"I'll ask." Yu Sheng said as he got up and got out from under the pirate's wings, communicating with No Name.

No name is the giant saber-toothed cat with a shoulder height of [-] meters. According to reason, the leopard should not be able to catch up with the tiger in size and strength, but the South China tiger in the small world is still growing.

The speed and strength of this specialized clouded leopard are currently the strongest among Zhaoqing's cats and dogs, and it is also the largest cat they have seen after the end of the world.

This clouded leopard is very proud. It doesn't think that the people in the car deserve him a name, so everyone can only call it nameless.

Yu Sheng walked back and sat down again and said, "It should be possible, the plants without names are in the small world."

Zhaoqing: "No wonder! No name looks so big and powerful! If you want to hunt and run outside, you still have to follow us. Because its companion plants are locked in the small world... Did you ask the second brother if you didn't have a name? , It is said that every time the shock wave is required, it must be in the small world."

Yu Sheng: "Yes. It seems that the animals and plants with the island of consciousness are indeed in a companion relationship."

Zhaoqing: "Is there no information at all on the dimension?"

Yu Sheng shook his head.

Chen Jie: "Could we be the first batch to learn about this fact?"

Valentin: "Is there any speculation in the materials they gave? When did the island animals and plants of the island of consciousness appear?"

Yu Sheng: "It is speculated that it is between the seventh shock wave and the eighth shock wave."

Chen Li: "The ninth shock wave just passed... Then we are probably the first batch to learn about this situation."

Yu Sheng: "It seems that specialized life is far from being as simple as we thought."

Valentin: "I'm afraid the biggest problem is that no one pays attention to animals and plants. Survivors' vision has always been limited by the special migration of special people. Paying attention to animals and plants is nothing more than superficial things. Now it seems that specialized animals and plants The underlying life logic may have changed, and the way of change is not as simple as that of humans."

Zhaoqing listened to the conversation between Yu Sheng and Valentin, and continued to observe the small world from his perspective. He found that many plants in the outer mountains also continued to specialize.

According to the theory, the specialization of the plants in the outer mountains will stop when they are included in the small world, Zhaoqing: "I'm afraid I can find those plants in the conscious island."

Yu Sheng: "Because of continuous specialization?"

"They are hidden among the plants in the mountains. If you don't look carefully, you can't find that these plants are still specialized." Zhaoqing said and got up, "Since this plant is so important to them! Then I will plant the plants in first, but don't worry." Don't make any troubles! Thinking about it, I'm afraid that all the plants will be placed here in front of the stove..."

Yu Sheng: "Don't forget to take the three of them with you, they want to see the plants being planted with their own eyes."

"Ah? Oh!" Zhaoqing stretched out his hand to send a few pots of plants in first, then dragged the pirate's wings to hold the wedding candy, and the marshmallow jumped into Zhaoqing's arms and disappeared together.

About half an hour later, Zhaoqing came out with a bunch of birds and beasts, and Yu Sheng caught Marshmallow in mid-air when she jumped into Zhini's arms.

Zhi Ni: "Huh? What's the matter, Dad?"

"It's okay, I'll communicate with it." Yu Sheng grabbed the rabbit in his palm and stared at the rabbit's gray eyes and asked, "Why never release your consciousness?"

The rabbit in the palm shook its ears.

Yu Sheng: "What are you afraid of? Afraid of being braised or spicy?"

Chen Jie: "Second Dad is too scary... He even said this in front of Tutu."

Yu Sheng glanced at Chen Jie and explained helplessly: "I didn't say this, but it expressed itself." After he finished speaking, he returned the rabbit in his palm to Zhi Ni, and said, "Take care of it well."

Zhini: "Okay, Dad, here's my cotton candy!"

Yu Sheng: "Well, you can give it enough sense of security. When you are not in the car, find a ventilated cabinet for it to put in, or put it next to Wedding Candy. It is afraid of other animals."

"Oh?" Zhi Ni tapped the marshmallow's ears and said, "But you didn't want to run away when you were put on the dinner table."

Yu Sheng: "I dare not move because I am afraid. I am afraid of pirates and big dogs, but I am even more afraid that you will not like it."

Zhini: "How could I not like you? I like you the most!" Marshmallow licked Zhini's palm, rubbing his head against Zhini's palm.

Yu Sheng: "Now it knows, put it in your pocket, it's comfortable."

Zhaoqing: "It's amazing. Now, every time there is a shock wave, these small animals in our family have to enter the small world."

Yu Sheng: "It seems so, they must be with the companion plants."

Chen Jie: "Will that affect the specialization effect?"

Yu Sheng: "Looking at the 'no name', it shouldn't be possible. When the shock wave is present, the concentration is extremely high, and it should be able to moisten the full-dimensional atoms from the inside and outside. Back then in Leila, when the concentration of death consciousness was high enough, you couldn't do it in the small world. On the contrary, it got better promotion than ours.”

Chen Jie: "Should we be inside or outside during the three days that Shockwave is here?"

Yu Sheng: "I don't really understand it either... It's just that I can't ask questions on the dimensional plane right now, and I'm afraid that several shock waves will have passed when we return to the imperial capital."

Chen Li: "Be safe with what happens! Be safe with what happens!"

Yu Sheng: "What else can I do? It's the only way."

Zhaoqing: "Looking at Marshmallow in this way is still very clever, and the island of consciousness can appear so early."

Yu Sheng: "It's not that smart. I know that the reason I survived is because the little master likes it, so from the inside to the outside, it is specialized according to Zhini's department."

Valentin: "Be clear."

Yu Shengmu said with a straight face: "I know what is written on my face, how can I make it clear? It expresses itself, saying that the big rabbits and fat rabbits are all skinned and eaten by us. It is said that the little master will point and rake his ears when he reads the picture book The rabbit laughed and said that the little master told it that it would be better if it never grew up. That's all."

"???? What is this... Is the radiation range of what you want is so wide now?" Chen Jie said in amazement: "Has the specialization of animals started to be related to us?"

Zhao Qing: "It's not so much that we get what we want, it's better to say that it's the little animals who get what they want."

"Huh?" Chen Yang felt that his brain circuit was not enough for a few minutes ago.

Zhaoqing: "Because Marshmallow wants to live. Everything it does seems to cater to Zhi Ni's ideas, but in fact, isn't it just to make itself live longer? Shouldn't it be so?"
