Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

==========================

"Really, it turns out that Albion City still hides such a secret."

After listening to Xiu's narration, the three of Kafka were not as surprised as they thought, but felt suddenly enlightened.

"Xiu, since you can remember, have the people of Albion lived with strange beasts?"

"Yes." Xiu said.

Seth asked: "Dr. Kafka, you are an expert in the study of alien beasts. Is this incredible thing really possible?"

Kafka put down the cup in his hand, and the slowly burning flames in the fireplace were imprinted on his aged but wise face: "Seth, the Temple Tower is the military base of Tinis City and the center of the educational institution. If you study systematically Through human history, we should know that the relationship between humans and other animals 200 years ago was at a delicate balance point. Humans raised animals, hunted animals, and protected animals. Animals are also adapting to human cities, or completely avoiding human existence. In this process of interdependence and intermingling, animal species are still showing a gradual extinction trend."

After hearing a lot of theoretical knowledge, Seth felt a headache and drowsiness. Taking advantage of the time when Xiu helped him apply the medicine, he sat down on the ground, put his arms on Xiu's thighs, and leaned his head against his arms. , with an expression of listening to the scriptures.

"What I can't stand the most is the literary and theoretical class. If I want to listen to these boring things, I would rather go out and run ten laps."

"Go ahead, go out and run around Albion ten laps now, and you won't be allowed to eat at night if you don't finish the run."

Xiu hurried away, Seth immediately changed his expression of humility, hugged Xiu's thigh without letting go, and signaled Kafka to speak quickly.

"In short, on the continent 200 years ago, humans were the dominant players on this planet, and human expansion seriously affected the living space of other animals and plants until the catastrophe occurred."

Pullin asked, "Are you referring to the catastrophe where species on this planet mutated on a massive scale?"

"Yes."

Kafka sighed, he had not experienced that disaster, but he could glimpse the horrific horror of that disaster just from the written records.

"Until now, we have not been able to figure out whether the disaster was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Human beings' self-proclaimed unbreakable social order collapsed overnight, and tens of thousands of histories were completely lost in that catastrophe. I study alien beasts For 40 years, I have been trying to figure out the root of this mutation and how the earliest mutated animals evolved into the current strange beasts. For this reason, I left the city of Tinis and took Israel on this continent Look for the remains of human beings, and look for the clues left by the predecessors."

"Then did you find anything?" Xiu asked.

"Hey, I'm getting old, and my memory is getting worse every day. Wait, I'll go find my notebook."

Upon hearing this, Israel immediately got up and went to the car to help Kafka find his notebook.

Ismail was worried about his injuries. Although he was not seriously injured, he suffered from burns and frostbite. The herbs used for the external application of the two injuries were different, so he was covered like a mummy, and he looked like he was dying. Symptoms, the kind that can only lie in bed waiting to die.

"I'll go, anyway, I have nothing to do."

Prin told Israel to lie down, and helped Kafka back to the RV.

A moment later, with the support of Prin, the old man returned to the house with an old notebook full of stitched and stitched notes filled with countless notes.

Before opening it, Kafka pointed to Prin's arms: "There are three masks left, and the three of you happen to have one for each of you."

Seth and Xiu didn't like the mask very much, it was a little shadowy, but Prin played with the mask very strangely, and couldn't wait to try it on his face.

"Brother, this thing is really warm and comfortable to wear."

Seth dubiously put on the mask. The rabbit fur lining is very soft and warm, and the plush texture is so comfortable that people are reluctant to take it off.

"Honey, do I look good in it?"

Through the mask, Thain saw Xiu's expression of 'Are you mentally retarded'.

"Not good-looking?" Seth asked unwillingly.

"Looks good, a wild boar doesn't look as good in a grass skirt as you do."

Seth said: "???"

"Ah, there it is, here it is."

Kafka finally found the contents of the notes, and said by the beating firelight: "Before the animals completely mutated into alien beasts, early humans discovered when dissecting some animals that the magnetic crystals in their brains produced different degrees of The most obvious examples are pigeons and turtles, who found that when pigeons homing and turtles laying eggs, they could not return to their original positions, as if they were lost."

"I know this, I took the exam a few days ago," Prin put on a mask and raised his hands and said, "That is the predecessor of the exclusive sensory organs evolved by the alien beasts, which allow them to perceive sound waves of specific frequencies and Electromagnetic waves, and use it as a target."

"Hahaha, you remember it clearly."

Kafka lightly patted Prin's head, and it was rare to hear praise. Prin quickly cocked his tail, but a question immediately knocked him back to his original form.

"Then do you know why strange beasts target sound waves and electromagnetic waves?"

"No, I don't know."

"Hehe, kid, don't be discouraged. I have studied for 40 years, and I don't know why they evolved such organs."

Kafka flipped through his notes, only the sound of the old man turning the pages and the flames beating in the house: "Animals are different from humans. Their desires are relatively single and their lifespan is relatively short. According to the behavioral instinct of animals, their purpose of attacking is nothing more than Food, territory, competition for mates, and counterattacks when they are in danger."

Seth listened with rare patience, and asked: "You mean, the reason why the alien beasts launched an attack is that humans have posed a threat to them? But now it is humans who are being driven to the fortress to survive."

"The result you see is not the cause," Kafka corrected. "When an animal encounters danger, its first reaction is to run away. Only when it cannot jump and is cornered will it launch a counterattack."

Xiu then asked: "200 years ago, did humans organize large-scale hunting of animals?"

"According to the results of my many years of research on the mainland, there is no evidence to confirm the existence of such a vicious killing. But combined with the mutation of the magnetic crystals of animals, it may be possible to get a certain explanation."

Kafka said: "You must know that in the era of highly developed human society, man-made electromagnetic fields spread all over the world, and even outer space was filled with various human-made space vehicles. While bringing unprecedented convenience, it also planted the seeds of disaster. To be honest, this may also be a warning to mankind, and it may not necessarily be."

Xiu asked: "Did something happen between human beings?"

"Wars, pollution, mindless expansion, and technological and ethical debates," said Prine.

"Yes, these are the variants and extensions of human beings' instincts as animals. The fundamental reason is to survive and get lost in survival—what I want to say is not this."

Kafka said: "A very special disease-electromagnetic wave allergy once appeared in human society. At that time, most scientists did not think that this kind of allergy existed, and suspected that it was a misdiagnosis of other diseases or psychological effects. But in fact, the first mutated animals first attacked human communication base stations, signal towers, large mining areas, oil fields, airports, military facilities, scientific research institutions...anywhere that can release strong electromagnetic signals No one is spared, and the most direct result is that the human beings with globalization as the development trend are suddenly blinded and deafened, just like the legendary human beings who built the Tower of Babel fell into chaos and fell apart."

Seth asked: "Even so, human beings shouldn't fall easily."

"This is really strange," Kafka said. "From the well-preserved sites of humans, there has not been a large-scale frontal conflict between humans and alien beasts. In other words, humans have almost no resistance. My guess is Humans themselves have also discovered some kind of mutation, which caused human beings to lose their resistance in the process of adapting to the mutation, and those who successfully adapted to the mutation have become today's supernatural beings."

Seth and Xiu looked at each other, hearing the source of their abilities for the first time, more or less confused and unbelievable.

After a moment of silence, the two gradually digested the information.

Prince asked: "Since we know that the attack targets of alien beasts are electromagnetic waves and sound waves, haven't human beings organized an effective counterattack in a targeted manner?"

"Son, humans didn't know from the beginning that the targets of alien beasts' attacks are electromagnetic waves and sound waves."

Kafka closed his notebook, took a sip of water, and said: "Communication base stations and signal towers are ubiquitous in human cities, as are animals. The early animals were not like the scale that strange beasts could achieve. They were scattered in various parts of human cities." In the corner, they launched an attack almost at the same time, and humans subconsciously thought that their attack target was humans themselves, coupled with the interruption of communication and inexplicable non-resistance, the speed of human fall was faster than we imagined."

Kafka added: "Some radical humans have also thought about using thermonuclear weapons to fight back, but this approach of dying together will only further compress the living space of human beings, and the speed of alien beast reproduction and mutation is far beyond human imagination. So far, alien beasts have risen, human beings have fallen from the altar of the master of all spirits, and the end of the world exclusively for human beings has descended on this planet."
